# Ground-Floor Apartment in Khamovniki

> A ground floor in a historic Khamovniki building — designed as a content studio and a home at once, where a neutral backdrop and a set of accent objects define the space together.

- Type: Interior
- Year: 2021
- Status: Project
- Client: Private Client
- Location: Moscow, Russia

The profession determined the logic of the project. All storage is concealed in plywood casegoods unified by a single detail: handles, edges, and frames are painted in Yves Klein Blue. The result is a backdrop ready for shooting from any point in the apartment.

Against this ground, three objects define the character of the space: a wave-form shelving unit in tinted plywood, a bedhead with a wave-profile trim, and a full-height mirror in a lit frame.

The kitchen backsplash — cobalt glass made from industrial offcuts, set against white surfaces with no upper cabinets — functions as a self-contained composition. A table in white tile with black grout and Breuer cane chairs form a dining zone in dialogue with Italian radical design of the 1960s and 70s.
