This refined interior is a project by interior designer Katya Begicheva, created for a longtime client. An active young man purchased a 124 m² apartment in a renovated early 20th-century income house in Moscow, drawn to the convenience of living within walking distance of the city's vibrant infrastructure.

In this project, the studio explored for the first time a three-dimensional prefabricated and modular system based on U-shaped reinforced concrete pieces, which are grouped and overlapped according to the program's needs.

The Biennale d'architecture et de paysage d'Île de France, is the most important exhibition of architecture in France. For its third edition, Sana Frini, from the Mexican firm LOCUS, and Philippe Rahm, from the French firm PHILIPPE RAHM ARCHITECTES.

The project was commissioned by a couple with three children, with the premise that the social spaces should be the protagonists, allowing a fluid social life. It is located on a flat 1,500m² plot with a South-facing front and a North-facing rear.

The first request, from this young couple of professionals without children, was a conventional 2-bedroom house, without major pretensions. However, that possibility did not at all represent the couple's free and progressive, if slightly antisocial, spirit.
