Настроение этой небольшой квартире (52 кв. м) задает история здания, в котором она расположена. Городская усадьба в центре Киева, на улице Пушкинской, была построена в 1898 году по проекту Андрея-Фердинанда Краусса — любимого зодчего столичной знати конца XIX — начала XX веков. Среди других его работ — неоготический «Замок Ричарда Львиное Сердце» на Андреевском спуске, Бессарабский квартал, дома на Рейтарской, Большой Васильковской и других улицах. Владелица квартиры издает книги по архитектуре и урбанистике, интересуется дизайном. Подыскивая жилье, она в первую очередь обращала внимание на дома, ставшие важной частью архитектурной истории Киева. В подъезде здания на Пушкинской — широкая парадная лестница с элегантными перилами, а фасад служит ярким примером стиля Краусса. Среди основных пожеланий хозяйки квартиры дизайнеру Юрию Зименко — интерьер должен быть созвучен стилистике здания, в то же время оставаться современным, легкими функциональным. Важно было продумать планировку так, чтобы максимально сохранить и подчеркнуть основные достоинства квартиры, в том числе четырехметровые потолки. Это учли в инженерных решениях и отразили в декоре: тяжелые полотна бархатных штор от пола до потолка и круглое зеркало по центру стены в гостиной акцентируют на вертикали пространства. Об истории здания напоминают также широкие массивные молдинги, повторяющие черты фасада, и лепнина на потолке в гостиной, которую удалось сохранить в оригинальном виде. Среди ретроэлементов, тактично инсталлированных в современный интерьер, — темная ажурная сетка на дверцах кухонных шкафчиков, узорчатая напольная плитка, алюминиевые бра и зеркало в резной раме в ванной. Центральным элементом гостиной стала редкая литография лимитированной серии одной из самых известных работ французского художника Жоржа Брака «Трубка, рюмка, игральная кисточка и газета» 1963 года. В спокойной нейтральной гамме интерьера настроение создают яркие вспышки цвета — глубокого зеленого, электрического синего, голубого и кораллового. В изначальной планировке было сделано одно глобальное изменение: зону кухни со всеми коммуникациями перенесли в зону гостиной. В результате получилось функциональное жилое пространство с местом для сна и гостиной со столовой. Но в итоге нам удалось встроить все коммуникации в зону над дверным проемом спальни». — комментирует Юрий Зименко.

The main level of this modern farmhouse is open, and filled with large windows. The black accents carry from the front door through the back mudroom. The dining table was handcrafted from alder wood, then whitewashed and paired with a bench and four custom-painted, reupholstered chairs.

When Irvine designer, Richard Bustos’ client decided to remodel his Orange County 4,900 square foot home into a contemporary space, he immediately thought of Cantoni. His main concern though was based on the assumption that our luxurious modern furnishings came with an equally luxurious price tag. It was only after a visit to our Irvine store, where the client and Richard connected that the client realized our extensive collection of furniture and accessories was well within his reach.

“Richard was very thorough and straight forward as far as pricing,” says the client. "I became very intrigued that he was able to offer high quality products that I was looking for within my budget.” The next phases of the project involved looking over floor plans and discussing the client’s vision as far as design. The goal was to create a comfortable, yet stylish and modern layout for the client, his wife, and their three kids. In addition to creating a cozy and contemporary space, the client wanted his home to exude a tranquil atmosphere. Drawing most of his inspiration from Houzz, (the leading online platform for home remodeling and design) the client incorporated a Zen-like ambiance through the distressed greyish brown flooring, organic bamboo wall art, and with Richard’s help, earthy wall coverings, found in both the master bedroom and bathroom. Over the span of approximately two years, Richard helped his client accomplish his vision by selecting pieces of modern furniture that possessed the right colors, earthy tones, and textures so as to complement the home’s pre-existing features. The first room the duo tackled was the great room, and later continued furnishing the kitchen and master bedroom. Living up to its billing, the great room not only opened up to a breathtaking view of the Newport coast, it also was one great space. Richard decided that the best option to maximize the space would be to break the room into two separate yet distinct areas for living and dining. While exploring our online collections, the client discovered the Jasper Shag rug in a bold and vibrant green. The grassy green rug paired with the sleek Italian made Montecarlo glass dining table added just the right amount of color and texture to compliment the natural beauty of the bamboo sculpture. The client happily adds, “I’m always receiving complements on the green rug!” Once the duo had completed the dining area, they worked on furnishing the living area, and later added pieces like the classic Renoir bed to the master bedroom and Crescent Console to the kitchen, which adds both balance and sophistication. The living room, also known as the family room was the central area where Richard’s client and his family would spend quality time. As a fellow family man, Richard understood that that meant creating an inviting space with comfortable and durable pieces of furniture that still possessed a modern flare. The client loved the look and design of the Mercer sectional. With Cantoni’s ability to customize furniture, Richard was able to special order the sectional in a fabric that was both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Selecting the color scheme for the living room was also greatly influenced by the client’s pre-existing artwork as well as unique distressed floors. Richard recommended adding dark pieces of furniture as seen in the Mercer sectional along with the Viera area rug. He explains, “The darker colors and contrast of the rug’s material worked really well with the distressed wood floor.” Furthermore, the comfortable American Leather Recliner, which was customized in red leather not only maximized the space, but also tied in the client’s picturesque artwork beautifully. The client adds gratefully, “Richard was extremely helpful with color; He was great at seeing if I was taking it too far or not enough.” It is apparent that Richard and his client made a great team. With the client’s passion for great design and Richard’s design expertise, together they transformed the home into a modern sanctuary. Working with this particular client was a very rewarding experience for Richard. He adds, “My client and his family were so easy and fun to work with. Their enthusiasm, focus, and involvement are what helped me bring their ideas to life. I think we created a unique environment that their entire family can enjoy for many years to come.” https://www.cantoni.com/project/a-contemporary-sanctuary

This ranch was a complete renovation! We took it down to the studs and redesigned the space for this young family. We opened up the main floor to create a large kitchen with two islands and seating for a crowd and a dining nook that looks out on the beautiful front yard. We created two seating areas, one for TV viewing and one for relaxing in front of the bar area. We added a new mudroom with lots of closed storage cabinets, a pantry with a sliding barn door and a powder room for guests. We raised the ceilings by a foot and added beams for definition of the spaces. We gave the whole home a unified feel using lots of white and grey throughout with pops of orange to keep it fun.
