The previous project of this apartment was finished in the end of 2005. After it
served for 7 years it was decided to bring in some changes. The apartment plan stayed the same, as well as
carcass of all metal frames, which form walls, partitions and items of
furniture.
As for filling between frames which initially was
metal plates now replaced by white toned wood. While the look of the previous design is
associated with words “Industrial”, “Extreme”, “Cold”, “Gloomy”, “Hard”, “Dark”
the new one is a complete opposite. Here come the words: ”Warm”, “Wood’,
“White”, which explains the name of the new project: WWW.AP
In fact these probable changes of the artistic
image of the apartment were assumed initially. Steel carcass ran through the
apartment performing such functions as planning, dividing the space, creating
the elements of furniture and items of interior. While shape-generating are
still metal frames filling is just an accessory.
Theoretically filling inside frames could be of
any material: stone, wood, cork, even textile. Yet working with metal was
extremely interesting at that moment as it seemed almost impossible to apply
this material for interior of a living space. Nevertheless it appeared to be
captivating and surprising.
Just mere change of frame filling resulted into
stunning effect as the apartment looks totally different. In fact it was primary task: keeping all basic
characteristics: design, walls and partitions lay-out on the assumption of
minimum efforts and expenses to make possible changes from brutal and
industrial look to warm and cozy living space.
Surely warm grayish-beige
colors of walls and other elements of décor-cushions, curtains, and bedspread
also supported this change for WWW apartment. As a result utterly new space
with new characteristics came out.
Before filming this new project it seemed it would
be correct to replicate pictures of old apartment made 7 years ago so that to
compare two object as “before” and “after”.
But after a few pictures were filmed it became
clear that even focusing on the old point of camera and keeping the same size
of pictures still we get totally changed space.
“Dark” and Light” graphics created new design and concept, while metal and wood
combination point to contrast of materials and texture. Definitely now we see
absolutely new image which lives in its own laws.
