1,800 sf Apartment / Alexander Tischler / Russia

Created by Alexander Tischler, this 1800 sq ft Moscow apartment represents the perfect blend of sophistication, functionality, and cozy warmth. Completed in 2023, the project was designed for a couple who frequently hosts children and grandchildren, making flexibility and comfort central design principles.

Open Plan with Smart Transitions

The original developer's layout divided the kitchen and living area. The Tischler team reimagined the floor plan, merging these spaces into a spacious 55.5 sq m open kitchen and living area. Natural light flows through large windows, highlighting the oak Venetian panels and light ceramic floor. A R9 audio system and laser projector with a hidden screen make the space simultaneously a cozy home theater.

The deep-toned dark kitchen with a functional niche for everyday appliances complements the quartz kitchen island, which includes hidden outlets, drawers, and a wine cabinet. The minimalist approach continues with a border ceramic backsplash, range hood, and stylish pendant lighting from Vibia and CVL.

Hall Serving Practical Functions

The entrance hall features a full-length mirror with backlighting, console, and cozy pouf. A cabinet along the corridor and ceramic cladding create a stylish yet practical transitional space. The guest bathroom was expanded by utilizing part of the small corridor, providing space for a shower with dark Italon tiles and wood-textured ceramics.

Guest Bedroom Transformed into a Home Office

The multifunctional living room serves as both a home office and children's bedroom. The Clei transformable sofa unfolds into two single beds. A wall-mounted worktop stretching along the window with built-in drawers is surrounded by tall wardrobes for clothes and documents. This flexible room embodies the apartment theme: designed for today, ready for tomorrow.

Calm Bedroom with Boutique Details

The main bedroom showcases the couple's love for soft tones and tactile richness. Oak Venetian panels accent the headboard, while ceramic tiles with a stone texture decorate the TV wall. A green chair with upholstery and a Kartell coffee table add a soft splash of color.

Behind the bedroom lies a luxurious walk-in closet, equipped with illuminated shelves, modules with mirrored edges, a stylistic mirror, and a vanity table next to the full-length mirror. Each shelf is lit, creating an atmosphere of a ballerina's dressing room. A hidden cabinet stores fragrance collections, and communication devices are concealed behind mirrored panels.

The laundry area is maximally functional, including a dryer, clothes dryer, storage cabinet for drying, and an ironing area under a hanging illuminated cabinet.
