Kazakov

The interior was designed for a young creative woman whose life connected with art — painting, graphic design, and textile design. The idea was to create a space that would serve as a backdrop for her own works, like a blank canvas ready to be filled.
Overall aesthetic is a brutal, ascetic minimalist: charcoal black and matte grey tones, polished metal, natural leather, and raw concrete.

Colour scheme
The colour palette is restrained and dark. To avoid a gloomy atmosphere, the interior is built on contrast: crisp white walls are paired with black and dark-grey furniture and details. The existing flooring was retained. Microcement plays a key role in shaping the character of the space. It is used on the walls and floor in the bathroom, the floor in the corridor, and the shoe shelves in the entrance area. Its texture and tone create the effect of raw concrete, emphasising the interior’s strict, ascetic aesthetic.
Functional zone
The interior is divided into two clearly defined functional zones: a private area with a bedroom and a bathroom combined with a laundry space, and a public area comprising an open-plan kitchen and living room. This zoning ensures a logical spatial organisation and responds naturally to everyday living scenarios.
Private zone
The bedroom features a minimal set of furnishings: a bed without a headboard, low floor-standing bedside units, and suspended rails for clothing.
The public area
The living area includes a modular sofa with a floor lamp, a bar counter, and a kitchen unit conceived as a solid, freestanding block. The TV zone is organised around a ceiling-mounted projector.
