The apartment is on the second floor of the old building, that was constructed in 1973, located in old historic centre of Almaty, the ex-capital of Kazakhstan. This 83.5 sqm project bases on Live/Work concept, exploring a balanced correlation between private and public spaces.
Almaty is located in a seismic zone. Most buildings are made of reinforced concrete. As a result, Interiors contain quite massive columns and beams, sometimes protruding from the ceiling for more than half a meter, so it's impossible to hide or ignore them visually.
The artistic idea of the project celebrates exposed structural components to draw attention to their vital importance for safety in case of an earthquake. Loads bearing elements such as concrete column, beams, and brick walls are presented in raw shape, framed by plywood, and illuminated with ambient light. This concept is supported by finishes taken from natural undecorated materials such as plywood, metal, glass, wood, ceramics, parquet boards, etc
The apartment is supposed to be used for both - living and working, that involves clients and guests presence. In a sense of layout, the key idea is a deliberate division between public and private zones.
The private zone faces East, to the quiet and green courtyard. It contains a master bedroom, bathroom, balcony, and living room, connected to a walk-through kitchen, that also has access to the public area.
The public zone, which faces West, to a noisy main street, has two studios, a guest toilet, and convenient access to the kitchen.
A corridor provides division and easy connection between private and public areas. Two sliding doors, next to the kitchen and living room can easily divide or join both private and public zones, depending on the current scenario.
Live/Work concept is supported by some interior elements that are moveable, foldable or transformable such are sliding doors, tables on wheels, and foldable furniture like benches, tables, and even bed.
The apartment has a pretty large balcony, 7.2 sqm, that could be treated as a living room extension in the warm time of the year. As a result, at the balcony, three different scenario were designed:
first one is an empty space, where for instance, physical activity could be performed,
next one is the transformation into the outdoor dining room with folding benches and a table,
last one, when the foldaway bed transforms the balcony into an outdoor bedroom.
Most of the interior items are designed and based on modular spatial grid, welded with steel tubes 20x20 mm. This cells are filled with furniture pieces like cabinets, tabletops, shelves, etc, or some materials like glass, firewood, and pebbles.
Different cells sizes accommodate variation of the furniture elements, to achieve a pulsating, variable composition. To support this concept some cells were left empty, some surfaces protrude relatively to the base level.
This project contains materials that mostly came from natural or reused sources like plywood, metal, glass, bricks, wood, ceramic, parquet board, particleboard, etc.
