“Peace of mind” is probably the best name for this spectacular duplex apartment designed by Ukrainian studio FORM Bureau. As far back as at the very beginning, when it came to choosing the interior’s concept itself, the architects of the FORM bureau along with the Customer took a decision together to move away from the contemporary trends. Initially, there was only an approximate idea which had been evolving harmoniously during the process and as a result acquired new nuances.

“心灵的平静”可能是这间由乌克兰画室形式局设计的壮观的复式公寓的最佳名称。早在一开始，当涉及到选择内部概念本身时，表单局的建筑师和客户一起决定离开当代的趋势。最初，只有一个大致的想法在这一过程中得到了和谐的发展，因此产生了新的细微差别。

The duplex apartment was chosen not by coincidence. The Customer was looking specifically for a space which could give the possibility to separate the area for hangouts from sleeping area. The Customer’s words that “a crucial point was to confide in an architect” were very important during our work with the interior. As a result, each texture and detail found its place in our interior. Lighting played one of the most important roles, focusing attention on the textures of the walls and highlighting important areas and details of the space. White color and authentic simplicity became the framework for everything. For contrast we used shades of black color only in details, the warmth was added by a natural wood on the floor. Architects worked mainly with Ukrainian manufacturers on this work area, with the exception of the chairs in the dining area (Gervasoni from Italy), and some of the light fixtures and decor imported from Bali.

这套复式公寓并非偶然选择的。顾客特别想找一个空间，这样就有可能把宿营地和熟睡区分开。客户的话，“一个关键点是向一个建筑师倾诉”是非常重要的，在我们的工作与内部。因此，每个纹理和细节都在我们的内部找到了它的位置。灯光扮演了最重要的角色之一，把注意力集中在墙壁的纹理上，突出空间的重要区域和细节。白色和纯朴成为一切事物的框架。相比之下，我们只在细节上使用黑色的色调，地板上的天然木材增加了温暖。建筑师在这一工作区主要与乌克兰制造商合作，但餐厅的椅子除外(意大利的Gervasoni)，以及一些从巴厘进口的灯具和装饰。

Beautiful concrete inter-floor covering with traces of timbering came into open after removing the gypsum plasterboard from the ceiling on the ground floor in order to increase the height first of all, which was 2.60 m. But even with such height we still decided to make a podium to separate the area of sofas from the dining room. We did not have any worries that it could make the ceilings look low, so the architects decided with certainty to paint them white, even though the Customer wanted to preserve the existing color of the inter-floor covering.

在从底层天花板上拆除石膏石膏板后，漂亮的混凝土地板间覆盖层打开，以增加高度，即2.60m，但即使这样的高度，我们仍决定做一个裙房，以将沙发面积与餐厅隔开。我们没有任何担心会使天花板看起来很低，因此建筑师决定将其涂成白色，即使客户希望保留地板间覆盖物的现有颜色。

The wood burning fireplace which was originally in the apartment turned out to be out-of-order, so it was replaced by bio fireplace, but the ideas with the firewood remained. In the living room on the main wall with TV we decided to use white pebble. The tile layer had been pasting it to the wall, one by one, during 3 weeks. Sofas in the common room and the rest of upholstered furniture were manufactured by Ukrainian company Interia. Sofas fitted in to the tick with their seat depth of 1.20 m. In the kitchen area you can see a table made of accreted boards of ash-tree and iron leg. It was manufactured by workshop of Ivan Chudov. The kitchen is fairly simple. Painting MDF white.

原来在公寓里烧木头的壁炉已经坏了，所以它被生物壁炉取代了，但是木柴的想法仍然存在。在主墙上的起居室里，我们决定用白色的鹅卵石。在3周内，瓷砖一层地贴在墙上。休息室里的沙发和其余的软垫家具是由乌克兰Interia公司制造的。沙发安装在滴答上，其座位深度为1.20米。在厨房区域，你可以看到一张由积木和铁腿组成的桌子。它是由Ivan Chudov的车间制造的。厨房很简单。把中密度纤维板涂成白色。

Countertop and worktop of the island were made of a faux stone, mounted by the company Love Stone. On the wall near the kitchen the mirror was glued, expanding the space. Black wall was painted with chalkboard paint designed for writing with chalk. Ceiling in the kitchen area and in the dining room was lowered not only to build in light fixtures and to provide light to the common room, but also to hide the ventilation. On the floor we used tiles REX of 1700mm x 900mm size. Originally, there was one long loggia on the ground floor. We divided it into two parts by using a glass partition. From one part of the loggia we made a children’s play area, and the second part we decided to make tea and hookah area which we closed by a glass door. That area appeared to be very cozy.

岛上的台面和工作台面是用人造石制成的，由“爱之石”公司组装而成。在厨房附近的墙上，镜子粘了起来，扩大了空间。黑色的墙壁是用黑板漆的，设计用来用粉笔写字。厨房和餐厅的天花板被降下，这不仅是为了建造照明装置和为公共房间提供照明，而且也是为了隐藏通风。在地板上，我们使用了1700毫米x 900毫米大小的瓷砖。最初，在一楼有一条长长的圆木。我们用玻璃隔板把它分成两部分。从其中的一个部分，我们做了一个儿童游乐场，第二部分，我们决定做茶和钩子区，我们关闭了一个玻璃门。那个地区似乎很舒适。

Sanitary room on the ground floor we wanted to make sort of mind-blowing with interior of white color in the background. For this purpose we choosed natural stone cut in imitation of the tiles, (L’Antic Colonial). Behind the rack doors we installed the household case. One of the most difficult moments that we faced was to find sufficient number of coins with nominal value of 25 kopecks (we had to visit more than one Oschadbank in Kiev to buy them). There are about 4 thousand hryvnia in total amount.

在底层的卫生室里，我们想用白色的室内背景做一些让人心旷神怡的事情。为此，我们选择了仿照瓷砖切割的天然石材(L‘Antic殖民地)。在机架门后，我们安装了家用箱子。我们面临的最困难的时刻之一是找到足够数量的面值为25戈比的硬币(我们不得不去基辅的不止一家银行购买这些硬币)。总共约有4000格里夫年。

Our original plan was to make the ladder very light and airy. We welded metal frame and installed wooden stairs on it. We painted the stairs white and slightly aged them. Hand railings were welded from fabricated drop-forged parts and painted white. On the first floor all the doorways were raised up to the ceiling. Wall finishing in the lobby was made with boards which were aged artificially and painted white. Lamps were manufactured by “My Light” according to the drawings of the project authors. In the sanitary rooms we used large mirrors to expand the rooms visually. Instead of usual towel holders we used a tree branch, which was painted white and hung on the ropes.

我们最初的计划是使梯子变得轻盈通风。我们焊接了金属框架，并在上面安装了木楼梯。我们把楼梯漆成白色，稍微上了年纪。手工栏杆是由伪造的跌落锻件和漆成白色焊接而成的.在一楼，所有的门都被抬到天花板上。大厅的墙面是用经过人工老化并涂成白色的木板做的。根据项目作者的图纸，灯具是由“我的灯”制造的。在卫生室里，我们用大镜子在视觉上扩大房间。我们用的不是通常的毛巾架，而是一根树枝，树枝漆成白色，挂在绳子上。

The main bedroom – on one of loggias we made area with a hammock for having rest, and on the second loggia we organized area with a dressing-table and bureau. Copper rundlets standing near the bed were brought from America, and copper light fixtures were found in a shop in Bali. As the Customer desired, we placed a big bed with sleeping place’s size of 2/2 meters. After removing the plaster from the wall we opened existing bricks and painted them white. The wires to the sockets and switches were laid in the joints between the bricks. In the sanitary room of the main bedroom we decided to make a wooden ceiling (from boards of pine spruce). We deliberately refused from the showers and installed bathrooms at the Customer’s request. There is a lamp in the nursery on the wall – MI MI. Idea is that this is a short form of Emily, name of the Customer’s daughter.

主卧室-我们用吊床做了一个休息区，在第二个门厅里，我们用梳妆台和分局组织了一个区域。站在床旁的铜板是从美国运来的，在巴厘岛的一家商店里发现了铜灯饰。如顾客所愿，我们安放了一张大床，床铺的大小为2/2米。除去墙上的灰泥后，我们打开现有的砖块，把它们涂成白色。插座和开关上的电线放在砖块之间的接缝里。在主卧室的卫生室里，我们决定做一个木制的天花板(用松云杉板做)。我们故意拒绝从淋浴和安装浴室应客户的要求。在托儿所的墙上有一盏灯-MI.想法是，这是艾米丽的一个简短的形式，客户的女儿的名字。

Guest bedroom is as white as the rest of the interior. We decided to refuse from the closed walk-in closet and used a well-known technique, where instead of the hanging rod for the clothes a tree branch was used. The entire interior of this duplex apartment was implemented in 8 months. The key point in this interior is the overall harmony. Peace of mind is the topmost idea of this interior – and this state has been a long-run objective of the Customer and of the project authors – FORM bureau.

客房和室内其他地方一样白。我们决定拒绝在壁橱里的封闭行走，并使用了一种众所周知的技术，在那里，使用了树枝代替挂杆代替衣服。这间双面公寓的整个内部在8个月内实施。内部的关键点是整体和谐。内心的平静是这种内部的最高理念--这个州一直是客户和项目作者--FORM局的长期目标。[通过电子邮件–由FORM建筑局提供]。
