BOLSHOY LEVSHINSKIY APARTMENT

The Bolshoy Levinsky Apartment is calming with its simplicity and symmetry. Crosby Studio’s artistic restraint encouraged clean lines, crisp surfaces and an easy flow throughout.The flat slab cabinetry is a thoughtful consideration to this endeavour, minimising the visual noise of hardware and raised panels. Even more considered is the custom made; from the kitchen island bench, to the bed and bathroom sink and vanity. Forget the clutter that collects dust, each space generates visual interest by texture, in materiality and the metallic. A special mention goes to the brass-wrapped bench, Vola tapware and dusty pink bedhead, injecting a dynamism into the otherwise monochrome palette. . . Scratching below the surface of the pared-back often reveals a complexity unseen. In tune with this notion is the Bolshoy Levinsky Apartment, emphasising the importance of every element —where nothing aggressively competes for your attention. True to Crosby Studios form, this Moscow apartment has said goodbye to the superfluous and hello to the streamlined. Homes like these are a pertinent reminder that we can live comfortably with far less.
