The team behind Crosby Studios were able to strike a perfect balance in their re-design of this black and white apartment located in the heart of the Russian capital.
Through careful consideration, this 64 square meter space gives off an aura of reserved sophistication with its contrasting color palette and balanced overall symmetry. Besides the white walls and dark colored accents found throughout the home, the exposed raw concrete ceiling also calls back to the history of the building, and keeps this apartment from becoming just another typical run of the mill modern home.
Metal and glass doors help to divide and distinguish both the social and the private spaces in the home. Finally, the furniture and decoration that is present was envisioned and planned for from the initial conception of the project, and as such perfectly complement the overall design motif.
