As a rule, most residents want to get rid of the corridor, which sometimes takes up to 30% of the area of the apartment. Again, with the elimination of this not always the right part of the apartment, the inhabitants of brick houses who have their own characteristics in architecture were unlucky.
The unification of the balcony or loggia with the room is also quite popular now.
This is also quite problematic, since according to sanitary standards, such a association is prohibited that will leave these premises without any partition. Heating will also be a significant factor in such changes, since the radiators are located in such a way that the heating system configuration cannot be done without changing.
The system of communications is very rare during redevelopment, but there are cases when it is inevitable. One of these cases is when the design is most important, the secondary is expanding or combined in the second.
For residents of the upper floors, the proposal to install a fireplace in the room has become relevant. It is also worth mentioning the advantages of residents of the first floor, which are allowed by the legislation to completely remove the duct, which increases free living space by two meters. In addition, they have the opportunity to add a basement to their apartment.
A feature of Russian interior design is that until the 90s of the last century it was not. Interior design appeared with the emergence of Russian democracy. We saw him in architecture magazines, in foreign cinema frames. He was imported to us in the form of air castles from foreign voyages. We took all the best from Western European designers and plunged headlong into the use of someone else’s experience in practice.
At first it was so to speak “European Republic”. Now we understand that this was just high-quality cosmetic repairs of the apartment where imported construction and finishing materials were used, wiring was hidden, floors and plumbing, carpentry and batteries were replaced. The finish made neatly and then seemed to seem an architectural breakthrough and creation of art. Following these, the wave of unlimited possibilities went. Pioneers interiors were a vinaigrette from innovative ideas, which were amazing wherever possible. Endless South American and Mexican series, as well as prolonged aesthetic asceticism, aroused the people with the desire for arches and crooked lines. But the taste and experience gradually defeated enthusiasm.
