Shift house | Dmitriy Sivak

Residential interiors are usually rich in decor and much more complex in their details. However, we were very fortunate with the clients: they didn’t want unnecessary elements and are committed supporters of minimalism.We hardly needed any decor— the interior feels complete and self-sufficient on its own.

Only wood, ceramics, and natural fabrics are used—the interior is simple, yet it has everything it needs.

The entire house—all floors and rooms—is finished in a single wall color using decorative plaster. Only one type of tile and one type of parquet or wood for the furniture are used throughout. This creates a strong sense of cohesion: one concept unites the entire space, even though each room still has its own character.

This house was designed for a large family, which is why the kitchen is generously sized. For example, the kitchen features a large extractor hood, but its very smooth shape makes it almost invisible, visually dissolving thanks to the frontal lighting.

At the entrance, there is a large guest wardrobe that is illuminated by natural daylight through a light well.

Since the living room includes both a TV and a real, large fireplace on opposite sides, we designed a sofa with seating oriented in both directions.

The master bedroom features windows facing the site as well as skylights, providing high-quality natural light for the makeup area. Like the rest of the house, it uses the same materials, which feel especially appropriate here—soft, warm, and inviting.

Along the second-floor hall, a roof window not only brings in light but also subtly frames the sky. Stepping out of a room, you see it as if within a picture frame. Constantly changing, the sky becomes a free yet priceless art piece within the interior —inviting you to pause and enjoy its beauty
