When Moscow City authorities wanted to create additional housing options for a growing urban population, they turned to the old ‘Danilovskaya Manufactory’, which was once home to a busy industrial center. The many buildings in the area also provided designers with the perfect opportunity to showcase their creativity, while offering homeowners a chance to own a piece of history and heritage in the form of converted loft homes. This particular ‘little wonder’ was designed by the genius folks at Au Room for clients looking for a relaxing home away from home and meeting place in the capital.

The elegant attic apartment is currently occupied 40 square meters, and the designers refrained from using internal partitions to give the tiny apartment a more spacious look. One of the apartment’s natural niches houses the chic bedroom with a large window next to it, while the small bathroom is the only space separated from the living area by walls. The living room-kitchen area is a large, extended space with a backdrop of brick wall, on-trend shelving and cabinets that add contemporary sparkle, and decor that’s all about space-saving and multitasking.

A perfect example of how even the smallest of spaces can be transformed into a trendy home!
