Smolensky Boulevard

The owners of this apartment live outside the city. The idea was to have a room for their child in their Moscow apartment. For that, we repurposed the two-meter wide walk-in closet. That is why our goal was to make it feel as spacious as possible.

The former walk-in closet triples as a bedroom, study, and home gymnasium.

We placed the desk and head of the bed next to the window whose sill doubles as a sort of bedside cabinet. As for the free space between the bed and closet, we arranged a home gymnasium with a couple of floor cushions there.

For all the storage needs the owners might have, we put a built-in closet split with accent lighting in the room. The bed has pullout drawers, and to the right from the desk there is a storage system.

The owners didn’t want any radical changes in how the room looked. That is why we simply replaced the walk-in closet chandelier with a track lighting system; a single electrical outlet was enough to power a rail with built-in and pendant lighting.
