The apartment is located in the center of Moscow in an old pre-revolutionary building dating back to 1903. Originally situated on the fifth floor, the attic was meticulously reconstructed to create an entirely new attic floor.

Upon entering the ground floor, we embarked on a comprehensive renovation process. Multi-layered wallpaper from various historical eras was meticulously removed, revealing the original brick walls. Existing partitions constructed from aged wooden boards were dismantled, and new ones were meticulously erected in their place.The attic floor was made of metal structures and insulated, with large sliding windows overlooking the ancient chapel.

While we chose to retain the raw beauty of the original brick walls, treating them with a matte varnish, the partitions were plastered and painted in pristine white. This striking juxtaposition between the rugged, weathered brick and the immaculate, painted surfaces creates a captivating contrast that bridges the gap between history and modernity. In the attic there is a more natural palette, wood and the same white color on the walls. Wood infuses warmth and coziness into the space, and the bio-fireplace, nestled between the windows, serves as the centerpiece of the upper floor.
