Low ceilings, small total area, tiny kitchen — these are just some of the problems faced by owners of khrushchyovka flats. But even for these spaces, there are impressive solutions — as shown in these projects.

Cozy interior in a Moscow five-story building

2.7-meter ceilings and a five-meter kitchen — once Moscow residents were happy with such housing, but over fifty years, comfort expectations have changed. Designers from Bureau 'Common Area' had to use hidden reserves in the khrushchyovka to create a modern interior where it's pleasant to live.

32 square meters and loft elements

This flat is located in a brick building from 1960, but the area, layout, and ceiling height are exactly like a khrushchyovka.

The owner wanted to create a cozy and livable loft with a convenient layout and well-thought-out storage systems. Designer Maria Dadiani was not intimidated but inspired by the challenge — the result pleased everyone.
