ART HOUSE
The interior is developing as a continuation of the architecture. It was assumed that all 220 square meters would be occupied by one person, but life made adjustments: a block was allocated for the client’s mother. But the remaining space was enough: the living room extends to 90 square meters. meters. From the very beginning, we took into account that there would be a lot of art in the house, so we left large layers of walls. In fact, the whole apartment is a background for art, a pure space with its own logic. There are accents in it, but there is no "redesign".

ZONING Upon entering the apartment, guests are immediately welcomed into a spacious combined living and kitchen area, which gives the interior more air and light. We combined these areas to keep the idea of an open-plan art gallery.
The seeming simplicity was difficult to achieve. We spent a lot of time on details, working out joints, adjacencies — such "little things" are not always obvious to the ordinary viewer, but they say a lot about the level of the project. We offered dozens of variants for each node. Together with the customer we chose, we were in no hurry: the project took more than two years to complete.
IDEA Gold is our reflection on the theme of luxury. At first we were worried that the golden front of the cupboard would take too much on itself, but in the end we are happy with the result. There are no conventional codes of coziness in the interior: wood, abundant textiles, warm beige colors. At the same time, it is unusually pleasant to be here. Impeccably arranged space, calibrated light, harmony of textures and, of course, first-class art play their role.
In the kitchen area, the walls are finished in concrete textured plaster — a fitting backdrop for Damian Hirst’s work and an allusion to the interior of the Gary Tatinzian Gallery, located on the ground floor of the house. The kitchen is custom-made, the ‘gold' brings a note of luxury to the ascetic interior. Kartell chairs.
Living Room. Two portraits by Vic Muniz and a circular work by Damien Hirst form an impressive composition. The concrete console is made to our sketches. Eros chair, Kartell. The owner bought the sofa as a temporary one, she doesn’t even remember the brand, but it took root. It’s still there.
Between two colourful works by Peter Helley and Carroll Dunham is a relief in gold tatalum by John Miller. At the very bottom is a miniature sculpture by Tony Matelli. Next to Peter Helley’s work is a couch designed by Carlo Bimbi, Arketipo. Under the ceiling is a light fixture by Pierre Georges Gonzalez. The author designed the model for Gary Tatinzian’s gallery. At one time, the client bought several copies — she wanted to see them in her future flat.
Next to the white walls and concrete floor, gold shimmers on the kitchen island and cabinet facade. "Drag-metal" correlates with individual art works and refers to expensive classics.
On the bedroom wall is a work by George Condo, one of America’s most influential artists. He became famous for his recognisable images of distorted, broken faces.
Many people who have been in this apartment confess that they do not want to leave.
