The designers at PACHE Bureau created this apartment’s design for a young woman with a lebreton dog. The client envisioned a Stalinist aesthetic with a French touch—elegant yet distinctive. It was important to her that the space spoke in its own language, reflecting her personal taste. Therefore, every detail was chosen together, carefully and thoughtfully, resulting in a design that continued the client’s vision of beauty.

Details

The developer’s layout was left almost unchanged—only the placement of the fixtures in the bathroom was adjusted. The apartment features a spacious bedroom with a large wardrobe, a kitchen with a tall bar-style table, a hallway, and a bathroom with a shower.

In the kitchen, the furniture is arranged along two adjacent walls. On one wall, there’s a work surface with a sink and stove, featuring only light-colored lower cabinets. On the other wall, there are low cabinets in a dark wood finish, which serve as the main storage area and house all the necessary built-in appliances. At the homeowner’s request, a semi-bar table was added, supported by a deep olive-colored accent on the wall, with the same theme continued on the ceiling.

The walls in the apartment are mostly painted, while the bedroom features fabric-like wallpaper. The client wanted a serene interior with contrasting black details and color accents; natural olive shades were chosen for these accents. The floor is covered with laminate, and practical ceramic tile is used in wet areas.

The highlight of the entryway is the use of arch-shaped designs in the doorways leading to the wardrobe and further into the living area of the apartment. The arches seem to set a rhythm for movement, making the transition from one space to another smooth and gentle. Instead of a door in the wardrobe, there is a thick olive-colored curtain that dims the light and adds a sense of comfort. The mirror on the wall mirrors the arch-shaped lines, visually expanding the space and reflecting the play of shapes.

A special place in the project was reserved for the client’s request to include space for the sculpture “David’s Head.” It stands on a pedestal next to the bed, serving as a subtle accent in the bedroom. The other artworks were chosen with the same attention to detail.

In the bathroom, the original layout was slightly modified: the fixtures were moved to the left wall. This allowed for a spacious shower area to be created, with a washing machine placed next to it.
