Layout after redevelopment
Kitchen–dining–living area
Interior design of a 108 m² three-bedroom apartment in the low-rise residential quarter “Lakhta Park,” Saint Petersburg. After redevelopment, the apartment features a master bedroom, two children’s rooms, and two full bathrooms. Interior style: contemporary minimalism.
Advantages of the new layout
The layout was designed for a family with two children of different genders, providing both a generous shared space for interaction and separate rooms for each family member.
- All apartment space is used with maximum efficiency.
- Public and private zones are clearly separated and do not intersect.
- A spacious 29.7 m² kitchen–living room was created as a place for hosting guests and gathering the whole family.
- The kitchen–dining–living area flows seamlessly into the entry hall.
- Entrances to private rooms are concentrated in the center of the apartment.
- A fully autonomous 15.3 m² master bedroom with its own large bathroom of 5.3 m² and a 4.7 m² walk-in closet.
- Two separate children’s rooms — 14.8 m² for the girl and 12.2 m² for the boy. The children’s rooms are located close to their dedicated bathroom.
- Storage systems: Built-in wardrobes are предусмотрены in every room and in the entry hall, while a separate walk-in closet and storage room help keep living areas free of clutter.
Design
The interior is executed in a contemporary minimalist style with a pronounced contrast of natural textures. The primary colors are shades of gray, beige, black, and natural wood. The absence of bright accents allows focus on form and materiality. Charred wood and rock-like textures evoke the atmosphere of the Scandinavian North. An abstract black-and-white artwork on the wall complements the natural motifs. All furniture is elegant and functional, with its design subordinated to the overall concept. Laconic forms are balanced with a sense of domestic comfort.
Multi-level lighting plays both practical and decorative roles. Track lighting, decorative fixtures, and integrated lighting (concealed LED strips along the ceiling perimeter) create soft, diffused illumination and visually “lift” the ceiling.
