A Kid-Friendly Apartment Renovation by Ruetemple Architects

Ruetemple architects renovated this amazing Moscow apartment for a young family with children.

The clients desired bright and comfortable living spaces, in addition to a total kid-friendly transformation of the neglected attic above. While the subdued design theme suits the sophisticated tastes of the parents, the layout boasts a number of exciting hidden features just for the young ones. The result is an incredible playground filled with surprise and wonder at every turn – and plenty of minimalistic design inspiration for idea-seekers. It's a wonderful family home with something for everybody.

Natural wooden floors and clean white surfaces set the tone for the rest of the house, but the distinctive wooden slats set the stage for amazing things to come. Despite what appears to be a very simple decor theme, each room features increasingly imaginative features.

Here, a second entertainment room provides a place for the children to watch cartoons or play games without disturbing the parents or guests below. They’ve already claimed the whiteboard wall to the right – nothing beats original artwork!

The office is amazingly bright and functional, complete with abundant storage to the right and expansive windows overhead. This level of the apartment features fabulous floors with distinctive color blocking, quite distinctive.

Window placement can have a huge effect on productivity. These windows allow a clear view of the sky while shielding from the distraction of the street. They preserve privacy at night but remain open to the expanse of stars above.
