ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
Creating a monochrome interior can be a challenging task when it comes to choosing a single color and texture for various surfaces. A decision was made to use one RAL color for painting the walls, concrete floor, and furniture. TIKKURILA YKI paint helped to handle this task with ease.
The smooth rounded shapes of the walls give the interior a sense of plasticity, immersing people in thoughts about the unknown, while prompting thoughts about the sun, sky, and space. All of the furniture for the project is made of metal and has a rounded shape, painted to match the interior repeats of curves of the walls, and appearing as a logical extension of the overall design.
The architecture of the building was designed to create a unified volume with a reflection, combining straight lines and smooth curves. External curves and cylindrical shapes run through the building to create an interior space that, in contrast with its bright monochromatic exterior, attracts the eye and invites visitors to immerse themselves in the world of cosmism.
The interior of the space has everything for comfort and relaxation, and, of course, for contemplation. A soft lounge area works in tandem with a rounded zenith window for observing the sky, and the bathroom is equipped with a shower and limited edition ASKO home laundry machines, complemented by Maxim Kashin’ s pattern paying homage to Russian avant-garde and suprematism. This symbiosis of functions, shapes, colors, and graphics creates the author’ s vision of a personal“ model of the cosmos” – one of the main themes of suprematism identified by Kazimir Malevich himself.
