Small Kitchen in a Khrushchyovka with Glass Block Window and Sliding Door

Designers from Mirburo studio renovated a standard single-room flat in a khrushchyovka for a young client who loves art and collecting. The original layout and appearance of the apartment did not meet the requirements — a functional, minimalist, and bright interior was desired. The work started with re-planning: the entrance to the kitchen was moved into the living room, and the corridor was divided into a utility area for laundry and a niche for a refrigerator.

The kitchen remained in its place, and the gas connection too. For coordination, a sliding door was provided. The kitchen is a standard linear unit from IKEA with the simplest white and green fronts and black handles.

A wall was rebuilt between the kitchen and bathroom using glass blocks. Previously, there was a small standard window in this spot, now the glass element has become an art object. It looks particularly interesting in the evening when the light is on in the bathroom.

A window sill is used as an additional zone: a kettle is placed on it — extra sockets were installed at the ends of the window opening for it. To prevent the kettle from interfering with opening the window, the operable windowsills were made at a necessary distance from the window sill.

A portion of the wall in the dining area was tiled. An unusual but practical solution. Instead of a bench, a footstool with a storage box was used.

The wall behind the refrigerator was decorated with plywood, just like the sliding door.
