Instead of trying to tightly pack all the functions of a full-sized city apartment into a tiny studio, it was decided to design the interior as if it was a boutique hotel room. That’s why instead of a bed desk there is an oversized sofa with a hidden bar as a tribute to the 1970s lounge furniture craze that embodied bourgeois hedonism. Culturally, this project appeals to Moscow Conceptualism — an art movement of 1970-1980s that poeticised and conceptualised the mundane routine and materiality of the late Soviet era. Hence the ingenious usage of  matte glass with a subtle turqouise hue, satinised steel and brass creates aquarelle effects as an homage to the painting style of Ilya Kabakov — one of the patriarchs of Moscow Conceptualism.The communication of the inside and the outside is executed via the choice of materials and colours that make up the unique palette of the project.
