Ar. Kristina Saakyan captured the spirit of noble classics but brought fresh modern elements and unusual design solutions, making the interior stand out from many others.

An elegant, minimalistic and rich interior adds value for years.

Kristina Saakyan (KS architects) created a new aesthetic design for a modern, classic-style apartment for a large family on the 24th floor of the VTB Arena Park Complex.

The owners wanted an interior that would acquire even greater value over the years, which they could gradually fill with works of art and collectable books, where they could invite guests and enjoy themselves.

To fulfil the owners' wishes, the architect combined modern furniture with Parisian chic, presented by timeless classic elements such as herringbone parquet, stucco cornices, and wall mouldings. High ceilings, large windows with wide window sills, and a general open layout added to the solemnity inherent in classic interiors.

It was also crucial for the author to ensure that the apartment was consistent with the architecture of the residential complex. In the end, it turned out to be modern but adorned with neoclassical motifs on its facades made from light limestone with rounded corners, panels, and flutes. Therefore, in the interior, each element smoothly flows into another; there are no sharp transitions between rooms, and most corners are soft and rounded.
