Making Renovation in New Construction: 4 Variants for a 2-Room Apartment

A new apartment is like a blank sheet: the same living space can be decorated in various ways according to the needs of a particular family. The head of Studio 'Cozy Apartment', designer Natalia Preobrazhenskaya offered 4 variants of renovating a 2-room apartment in new construction, based on the I-155B house series. Expert on renovations Maxim Dzhurayev commented on the details of approval.

Brief info: 2-room apartment in I-155B

In the standard layout of a 2-room apartment in the I-155B house series, all rooms are isolated. There is a large hallway and space for storage. One of the advantages is three spacious balconies.

Variant 1: For a family with two children

This variant is perfect for a family couple with two children of the same gender: they will be comfortable in one spacious room where you can set up a play and work area, place a large closet on the balcony. The second bedroom is for parents. The kitchen can serve as a living room for gathering the whole family: to make it more spacious, they removed the entrance hall. The dining area was moved to the balcony. The bathroom and storage were enlarged at the expense of the hallway: in the end, there is a large bathroom and a wardrobe with a laundry room.

Expert opinion: such renovation can be approved by a project and technical conclusion from any project organization with SRO accreditation. Don't forget about the necessity of waterproofing the bathroom. The company performing the renovation work must provide acts of hidden works.

Variant 2: For a single man

In such a spacious 2-room apartment, it will be very comfortable for a single man or a free young woman. The configuration of partitions allows you to reconfigure the space in such a way that you can get a rather large bathroom, laundry and wardrobe. The larger room is dedicated to the bedroom, while another one is set up as a living room. One of the balconies is for a cozy lounge for gatherings with friends or hookah, and the other one is for a workspace with shelves.

Expert opinion: Approval will require a project and technical conclusion from any project organization with SRO accreditation. Also, you need to do waterproofing of the bathroom.

Variant 3: For a young couple

A cozy spacious living room and a comfortable bedroom are the two main elements of an ideal interior for a young couple without children yet. The bathroom was joined and enlarged at the expense of the corridor to accommodate a standalone bathtub and double sink. Space for a convenient wardrobe or closets appeared at the entrance. The kitchen can be equipped with a bar counter for breakfasts, as well as a mini-dining area on the balcony.

Expert opinion: Approval will require a project and technical conclusion from any project organization with SRO accreditation. Also, you need to do waterproofing of the bathroom.

Variant 4: For multiple generations in one family

There are many cases when a young family lives in one apartment with their elderly parents. The most important thing here is to ensure comfort for all residents. For example, it is essential to provide two separate bathrooms: the hallway space allows this. Rooms were allocated for the homeowners' bedrooms, and the kitchen-dining room was made more spacious by removing partitions.

Expert opinion: Such renovation can be approved by a project and technical conclusion from any project organization with SRO accreditation. Don't forget about the necessity of waterproofing the bathroom. The company performing the renovation work must provide acts of hidden works.
