Avant-garde luxury apartments

Five named suites are similar in layout. Each consists of a living room with a dining table for 4-10 people, a spacious bedroom, a large bathroom, a guest bath, a hall. Kitchenettes are equipped with minibars, tea and coffee sets. The unique cosiness gives the rooms an abundance of upholstered furniture - these are couches with rollers, and corner sofas with many pillows, and deep armchairs with poufs. Particular attention was given to the ladies, for whom the suites are equipped with a boudoir with a dressing room, where there is a mirror in the floor and a dressing table. The geometric pattern of rich woolen carpets echoes the abstract plots of painting, selected in accordance with the characteristic style of each of the famous avant-garde artists.

Suite Malevich named after the pioneer in the art of cubic abstractionism and the founder of the abstract geometric style Suprematism. The design of the room is inspired by the geometric shapes and bold colors of the artist.

Another suite is named Alexandra Arkhipenko - one of the founders of cubism in sculpture. Sensual lines of warm tones in the master’s works inspired the designer to create interiors dedicated to him.

Kandinsky Suite named after the outstanding Russian painter, graphic artist and theorist of fine art - Vasily Kandinsky.
