Intellectual Evolution
by Tatiana Alenina, Vladimir Krasilnikov, Atelier A.K.A.

Overlooking the Moscow River, this 111-square-meter apartment serves as the personal residence of interior designers Tatiana Alenina and Vladimir Krasilnikov. Designed as a reflection of their artistic vision and emotional sensibility, the project merges collectible design, sculptural form, and architectural fluidity into a deeply personal yet universally resonant space.

From the outset, the open-plan layout and sweeping panoramic views inspired a concept built on spatial continuity and emotional openness. The designers embraced the idea of a seamless, circular flow, ensuring the interior remained unrestricted and intuitive, while still addressing all functional requirements. Floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides allow for a generous influx of natural light, further enhancing the sense of expansiveness.

A quarter of the space is reserved for functional zones — including the entrance hall, bathrooms, laundry, and walk-in wardrobe — while the remaining layout unfolds into a unified living area and private quarters. Pivoting doors subtly define the bedroom without disrupting spatial harmony.
