This mini project represents the modus operandi typical of Moderus interior in collaboration with Krost.
The flat n° 222 is on the 22nd floor in the complex under construction Nevskiy in Admirala Makarova Ulista, 10, in the North-West quadrant of the Russian capital.
The construction company put at our disposal a two-room flat where we were free to set up our “Remont office”, the after-sales office, dedicated to the internal finishing of the flats.
It is common practice all over Russia that the builder cares to realize and 100% finish all the common spaces of the skyscraper, both internal and external: entrance halls, gardens, parks, playgrounds… while it is the buyer who has to finish his own apartment. This is sold to the rough, ready with the channelling, but totally stopped at the concrete, even without the boarding. The only specified supplies are the entrance hall, the windows and sometimes the radiators.
The project for the distributive solution remains in fact only on paper as a possible suggestion, which the client is free to personalize .
During the construction work , Krost took care of well refining the floor where to install a sales office. Thanks to this collaboration, Moderus set up a “Remont office” next to the sales one, so that the offer for the buyer was both simple and natural.
For my part, as Senior Architect in Moderus Interior, I was given the task of following and dealing with the “VIP projects”, which the studio was running, and of giving general guidelines to the various collaborators for the numerous minor projects.
My proposal for the Moderus-Krost office considered the subdivision of the space into two areas: an operative one and an executive one with a meeting-room.
The operative open space was endowed with two computer stations for the interior designers who worked on site, an area for the printers and the archive, a waiting corner and a bathroom. In the meeting room there was a conference table, a TV monitor to show the clients the video of their projects and a large wall shelving/library to accommodate catalogues and samples relative to finishes, floors, furniture, curtains, etc…
