In the heart of Sadovye, Antwe reimagines a 130-square-meter apartment for a woman and her daughter with a bold red Merbau veneer centerpiece. This high-gloss oval volume doesn’t just divide; it defines, serving as a freestanding sculptural form that conceals essential storage and technical systems while creating natural flow within the home.
The oval’s polished surface captures the abundant natural light and city views, adding warmth with a soft pink hue at sunset. This accent piece cleverly separates spaces, from the entrance to the kitchen-living area, maintaining seamless transitions and stunning visual depth.
Innovative Design Meets Functional Elegance
Transforming into part of the kitchen system, the volume provides hidden utility through folding facades. A Patagonia quartzite island and Roquebrune chairs by Eileen Gray complete the sophisticated look. Children’s spaces are thoughtfully divided into play and rest zones, allowing flexibility as needs evolve. The central wardrobe acts as a playful portal, encouraging balance between activity and tranquility.
The master bathroom epitomizes luxury and privacy. Accessible from both the hallway and bedroom, it elegantly divides into a sink area and a secluded bathing space with a walk-through shower. Warm lighting and rounded doorways enhance the serene environment, offering one of the apartment’s most dynamic visual experiences.

Artistic Touches Extend the Drama
Art deeply enriches the home’s interiors. An eye-catching epoxy resin piece by Alisa Spots, created with Antwe, serves as a focal point in the kitchen, enhancing the room’s perspective flow. A Varvara Cheltsova painting infuses the bedroom with graphic and tonal harmony, complementing the minimalist design.
Red, the vivid signature of this residence, reappears in bold elements like the translucent red epoxy resin sink in the guest bathroom. This piece, lit from above, casts an enchanting crimson aura, maintaining the thematic ‘object within a space’ concept throughout.
