I spotted this fun apartment in Moscow featured on The Village and had to share. It is wonderfully eclectic and is filled with some of my favourite things - patterned encaustic tile, fun wallpapers, copper lights, and rustic furnishings. The modern mixed with global vibe makes this a funky little getaway in the city. (Photos: Michael Stepanov)
The floors are candy pink! SHINY. CANDY. PINK. No need to drag me into work on a weekend if my office looked like this. Yum! The offices of NGRS Recruiting Company in Moscow by Crosby Studios.
It's over a year ago that Kim featured the work of Russian architecture and design firm INT2 architecture and they just keep getting better and better. Actually there is only one thing to fault in this amazing Moscow townhouse. It's not real. It's a rendering. Part Scandinavian, part mid century, all computer generated ... until it's built. The colour blocking is blowing my mind. I can't wait for virtual to be made real.
Crosby Studios is at it again, this time with a very small apartment (with a name that cracked me up so I had to use it as the title) that appears to have had a fairly limited renovation budget. And once again, they managed to keep it sleek and cool and homey.
I wanted to share this apartment in Russia with you, because it is a wonderful example of modern, minimalist architecture done right in a small space. While fairly simple in its design, the black steel wall/windows is a DREAM, with white painted brick, concrete ceiling, sleek cabinetry and flooring, and the deep window sills all work so well together. I LOVE it....except maybe the hammock. I would prefer a sofa. :) Great job Crosby Studios!
