SG71 - apartment in Kyiv

All minimalist interiors are based on the principle formulated by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the first half of the 20th century - "Less is more." He is considered one of the most influential reformers in architecture. He opposed any desire for decoration, which has no practical value.

The house, in his opinion, should consist of leather and bones, where the role of bones is steel, and leather is glass. He advocated free planning. He proposed to divide a single space, where there are no permanent partitions, with mobile screens or curtains.

Not in such a maximalist version, however, his ideas about free planning are being realized today. Just like many others.

Belik studio designers know how to make minimalism interesting, varied and fun. We are ready to show you an example of a design project in the Galaktika residential complex.

For their parties, we created a 20.2 square meter space with a kitchen, dining room and living room with a large corner sofa. The design of the studio kitchen is very discreet. It includes a maximum of pieces of furniture and equipment that are important for space, a minimum of decor.

You have, of course, already noticed the malachite green upholstery of the chairs and sofa. This is our homage to malachite, which Mies van der Rohe used in his Barcelona project. The rich green of this shade makes the interior not boring, leaving it with the right to be minimalistic.

We have explained more than once the reasons for our commitment to Spanish porcelain stoneware. It will not be superfluous to list them briefly again.

The entrance group is separated from the kitchen-living room by a conventional door, which slides during a visit and turns the entire space into a single interior. To emphasize its generality, we used identical materials for the walls, floor and the same lighting.

Corridors with many doors are always a difficult story. One of the best options for "lightening" the space, from which there are entrances to several other rooms, is to select the same materials for walls and doors. In this case, the doors are not so obvious and the interior looks more relaxed.

The entrance hall is located on an area of ​​8.8 square meters. We settled on a calm color palette, giving preference to light tones, while dark we left the ends of the furniture and small details. This way we have created a graphical contrast between light and dark.

The American architect, who is also called "the father of skyscrapers", Louis Sullivan argued that form follows function. The function of the hallway is clear - space is needed to leave outer clothing, dress comfortably and leave the apartment, or go further into the rooms. In order to implement...

Carpets appeared in the 6th century BC. They were originally needed to protect residents from cold walls, drafts and wind. Now the need for this type of protection has disappeared. However, the desire to plunge into the atmosphere of comfort and coziness is still relevant. Therefore, we have placed...

Opposite the sofa, we placed a TV with a hanging shelf. The subdued light in this area of ​​the children's room is created by an LED strip hidden in the ceiling molding and LED cords embedded in a wooden wall panel made of chipboard strips.

The planning of this apartment took a short period of time due to the correct size of the rooms and the conveniently located wet and living areas. We have divided the entire space of the apartment into public and private parts, which has a beneficial effect on the atmosphere in the family.
