Gypsum panels and ceramic granite

In this project, the designer used several materials at once: gypsum panels, MDF panels, and large-format ceramic granite. The panels hide engineering communications, while the slabs visually divide a long corridor.

Integrated LED lights

All walls in the hallway were covered with decorative plaster and an interesting detail was added – integrated lighting. The lights transition from the wall to the ceiling, creating additional lighting and visually separating the 'dirty' zone from the corridor.

Decorative panels

The wall with decorative panels made of veneer was executed according to designers' sketches. The clock-mirror with illuminated dial in the hallway was custom-made in a woodworking workshop, and the clock mechanism was ordered in St. Petersburg: it was intended for outdoor clocks due to the large size of the hands.
