a developer . Since this apartment doesn ’ t have room for a separate walk-in closet , we designed several large closets .
To prevent the closet from looking like a blank wall from the side of the living room , we decorated its central modules with ribbed panels , and we made showcases with ribbed glass and built-in lighting on the left and right sides .
Behind the closet in the living room , there is a utility closet containing a washing machine and dryer . To the left , there is the door to the bathroom with a passage for the cat .
One can access the bedroom from the living room . The doors leading there are painted in the same color as the walls on one side , and completely mirrored on the other .
We organized two workplaces in the bedroom ; the first is located at the entrance . There is a hanging table with drawers and cabinets for storing documents and clothes . We placed the table here so that there is plenty of room next to it for movement in the VR helmet .
The second workplace is located at the corner window overlooking the city . Next to the table , there are open shelves and a showcase for the client ’ s memorabilia .
We designed and manufactured a bed , which we placed in the center of the room ; its frame is a single unit with cabinets and wall panels . We made the bed ’ s base in black and deepened it with the sides veneered with American walnut . This way , the bed seems floating . We supplemented the wall panels above the headboard with wood strips and complemented them with lamps that rhythmically hang from the ceiling .
We installed a mirrored cabinet with sockets and a hanging cabinet with a sink , under which there will be a litter tray for the cat in the bathroom . We chose an unusual porcelain tile decorating the bathroom that imitates the texture of metal sheets and rust .
One can access the guest bathroom from the hallway . We enlarged the guest bathroom at the expense of the corridor . We were able to add a shower after the replanning ; and now it ’ s separated by a ribbed partition , which unusually refracts the illumination of the niche for gels and shampoos .
