The space is located on the high ground floor of a building in the ensemble of tenement buildings of M.V. Pustoshkina, built in 1910 according to the design of the outstanding Moscow architect I.A. Ivanov-Shits. The tenement buildings were completely reconstructed in the 2000s, preserving the historical facades as well as interior decorative elements.
The ensemble of tenement buildings is surrounded by architectural monuments:
Nearby is the estate of duke P.A. Vyazemsky, a litterateur and friend of A.S. Pushkin, where in 1826 the poet read the poem “Boris Godunov”;
opposite, between Voznesensky and Bryusov lanes, there is the Anglican Church of St. Andrew, built in 1884 in the Victorian Gothic style according to the design of R.N. Freeman.
The apartment with a total area of 130 square meters is intended for rent.
The space is outlined by good proportions - the ceiling height in the rooms reaches 3.8 meters - as well as a large number of windows and excellent natural light.
The planning solution includes a large entrance hall, a kitchen, a master bedroom with its own bathroom, two rooms, a guest bathroom and a separate bathroom with a bathtub.
Movement in space occurs around a cube with storage systems located in the center of the entrance area.
At the request of the apartment's tenants - a young family with children - it was necessary to renew the interior, emphasizing the classic proportions and harmony with the exterior of the pre-revolutionary mansion.
Decoration
Lighting
To maintain visual purity and unity of space, all walls and ceilings of the apartment were repainted in Shirting white from the Farrow&Ball palette of classic English grey shades.
Wall moldings and ceiling cornices, repeating the decorative elements of the building's facade, emphasized the height of the premises and the unity of the architectural style.
