# A Director's Apartment

> An apartment for a film director and producer: a private study, a library of antiquarian books, a ceramics collection, and a home cinema — each with its own logic, none competing with the others.

- Type: Interior
- Year: 2020
- Status: Completed
- Client: Private Client
- Location: Moscow, Russia

The apartment on Leninsky Prospekt sits opposite the LUNAR complex, a short walk through the courtyards from Yandex headquarters and the Moscow Palace of Pioneers on Vorobyovy Gory.

The floor area allowed for a dedicated plywood study — a workspace isolated visually and acoustically, without competing with the living spaces. Storage for the book collection, including antiquarian editions, became a structural element of the layout. The screening zone is scaled for solo use and for a group. The ceramics collection is distributed through the apartment as part of the interior rather than as a display case.

For the wall ceramics a single focal point was found: a large yellow square beside the dining table that functions as a canvas on which all the objects are concentrated. The decision holds the collection together and keeps it from dispersing across the apartment.
