Located within the Jazz residential complex in Moscow, Russia, this stylish apartment boasts 4.5 metre high ceilings and impressively large windows. Designed by Lake & Walls, the home interior is spacious and welcoming, dashed with colour and intriguing eclectic decoration. A mezzanine level holds a bedroom and a home workspace that looks out over the view of the city. The apartment’s generously sized kitchen is situated underneath the mezzanine, along with the bathroom and entryway. A second bedroom is tucked behind a partition in the living room. Inside, a Murphy bed leaves floor space clear during the day, and a space-saving staircase climbs to a small mezzanine dressing room.
A modern curved sofa and a classically inspired chandelier mark out a lounge area within the open plan eclectic living room. Perspex coffee tables store a busy collection of books at the centre.
