How much a space can change when the architect and the client think through every detail together.

Where the doors will open, where they will slide, which shelves should remain open, where books and magazines will be stored. Every detail matters, because behind every beautiful interior there is always functionality.

That’s exactly why we create new spaces and design custom furniture — so that people can feel in their home exactly the way they want to.
Beauty, functionality and individuality — it all starts with the details.

Paris, Boulevard de Sébastopol. by @victorsplash.fr

The combination of the old fireplace, the new green wall, and the new built-in library creates a stunning composition in the interior.

I present to you a recently completed project: a green living room with a custom-made library, located in the heart of Paris, on Boulevard de Sébastopol. by @victorsplash.fr

Project “White Living Room”

In the project “White Living Room,” the ceiling becomes the main instrument of spatial transformation. Through its form, plasticity, and interaction with light, it creates a sense of depth and movement. The perception of the space changes: the scale shifts, new accents appear, and the room begins to feel lighter and more dynamic.

I believe that, even today, ceiling design remains relatively underexplored in global architecture and interior design. Despite the enormous possibilities that this surface offers, it is often treated as a secondary element. Meanwhile, the ceiling has the potential to become a powerful architectural feature that defines the character of the entire interior. by @victorsplash.fr

Project “White Living Room”

The project “White Living Room” explores how space can be transformed through a thoughtful approach to the ceiling. The entire transformation of the space in this interior is based on an unconventional way of working with the ceiling.

Very often, designers and architects focus primarily on walls, furniture, flooring materials, and decorative elements. The ceiling, however, is usually treated as a neutral background — a white surface that serves mainly a technical function. Yet the ceiling actually defines the upper boundary of a space and strongly influences how we perceive its volume, light, and proportions.

What do you think — is the ceiling still an underestimated element in spatial design?

Проект «Белая гостиная» — это исследование того, как пространство может трансформироваться благодаря вниманию к потолку. В этом интерьере вся идея построена на необычном подходе к верхней плоскости помещения, которая обычно остается недооценённой.

Чаще всего дизайнеры и архитекторы уделяют основное внимание стенам, мебели, материалам пола и декоративным элементам. Потолок же нередко воспринимается как нейтральный фон — белая поверхность, выполняющая лишь техническую функцию. Однако именно потолок формирует верхнюю границу пространства и напрямую влияет на восприятие объема, света и пропорций комнаты.

Как вы считаете, действительно ли потолок до сих пор остается недооцененным элементом в дизайне пространства? by @victorsplash.fr

How design and attention to the ceiling can transform a space

The ceiling is an integral part of any interior space, yet it often remains without proper attention. In many projects it is treated simply as a neutral surface — white, flat, and taken for granted.

However, the ceiling has enormous potential in shaping the perception of space. It can set rhythm, change the proportions of a room, guide the eye, and reinforce the architectural language of the interior.

Working with the ceiling makes it possible to visually expand a space or, conversely, create a more intimate and cohesive atmosphere. Through levels, materials, color, light, or texture, the ceiling can become an active element of the composition rather than just a technical surface.

Sometimes a small intervention — a line of light, a relief, or a subtle color accent — is enough for a space to gain depth and character.

When the ceiling becomes part of the design concept, the interior begins to be perceived as a complete architectural composition, where every plane contributes to the overall image.

Ru: Как внимание к потолку может изменить пространство?

Потолок — это неотъемлемая часть интерьера, но чаще всего именно он остаётся без должного внимания. В большинстве проектов его воспринимают как нейтральную плоскость: белую, ровную и «по умолчанию».

Однако потолок обладает огромным потенциалом в формировании пространства. Он может задавать ритм, менять пропорции помещения, направлять взгляд и усиливать архитектуру интерьера.

Работа с потолком позволяет визуально расширять или, наоборот, камерно «собирать» пространство. С помощью уровней, материалов, цвета, света или фактуры потолок становится активным элементом композиции, а не просто технической поверхностью.

Когда потолок становится частью дизайнерской идеи, интерьер начинает восприниматься как цельная архитектурная композиция, где каждая плоскость работает на общий образ.

Three in a boat"

Apartment project

Client: Sergey B.

Project “Three in a Boat”
60 sq. m

The 60-square-meter apartment had a rather unfortunate original layout: a long, narrow entry corridor “ate up” the space and deprived it of natural light. We analyzed the existing wall configurations, rethought the movement logic within the apartment, and proposed a new layout scheme. Thanks to sliding doors and a large mirror covering the entire corner of the corridor, the space visually expanded and became brighter — the corridor now functions not as a narrow passage, but as a full-fledged part of the apartment’s overall volume.

This project is an example of how, even within a compact footprint, it is possible to create a thoughtful and harmonious interior that meets the needs of the modern client. by @victorsplash.fr

Our task was to create a functional, visually light, and truly comfortable space for a family of three. The project “Three in a Boat” involved complete oversight of the property — from the conceptual design to the final furnishing.

"Spanish concrete"
Apartment design project

120 m² Apartment: Minimalism in Its Purest Form

The material palette is reduced to a precise, disciplined minimum: concrete plaster, white-painted walls, and furniture in shades of gray and wood. The entrance doors are finished in a gray wood tone. Glass partitions are framed with slim black metal profiles. A unified palette and the restrained tactility of materials allow the space to breathe. This is an interior that doesn’t distract — it serves as a backdrop for life. by @victorsplash.fr

120 m² Apartment: Minimalism in Its Purest Form

The ceilings were left in their original state — raw concrete. To complement them, we used poured flooring in the common areas, setting the tone for the entire spatial logic.

The kitchen is ultra-minimalist. Clean geometry, a double backsplash with a narrow functional shelf. Everything in its place — nothing excessive.

This interior is all about focusing on the essential and letting go of the unnecessary. We deliberately minimized decorative intervention, preserving a sense of architectural integrity and calm.
