To meet the needs of a large family, FORM turned three existing apartments into one in the historic center of Moscow. Their main objective was create an apartment that felt like an extension of the family while making it feel calm and welcoming.

Throughout the apartment, a fairly subdued palette was implemented to encourage a calm, soothing environment. Shades of aquamarine paired with oak wood are predominate, along with details in bronzed brass, natural stones, and wool textiles.

A long hallway divides the private spaces with the public ones and while open floor plans are common these days, the family wanted to create the most functional layout possible.
