FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
SS: The main idea of that project is combining the luxury of traditional classical design with the technological bringing. Also its’ gist is in the creation of awesome maxi-functional and yet practical part of this space within the limited square.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
SS: The main objective of that project was to accommodate the whole large family in the city apartments with comfort, which is equal to the living in country-house.
FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
SS: It is important to note, that the application of that particular project has been realized for the particular client. But, if somebody will estimate highly my solutions in such measure, that they would like to get it realized at their squares, I would gladly adapt it for another real estate object.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
SS: I had spent near 3 months for the project design development.
FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
SS: I had got only small technical requirement from the client, where just the general information and the wish were mentioned. That’s why the concept is increasingly an outcome of my fantasy and inspiration.
FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
SS: This design is completely mine idea. I have realized it with my team for the one of my clients. If I receive a proposal to clone or to adapt it or to create something similar with it for any other proposal from any country I’m ready to discuss and realize it. But all my projects are under my personal control.
FS: Who is the target customer for his design?
SS: This project is a sample of the design for my target auditory. Usually, my clients are top-managers, entrepreneurs, show-runners, famous people and people from the high society.
FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
SS: This project differs from the likes by 2 very important principles. It’s a sufficient number of the decoration details, high density of things, located at the small areas and despite of that fact, this project doesn’t look oversaturated. Also this project is about rather complex blend of undertones of the grey shades with brass shades and golden tones. Essentially, it’s a monochrome implementation with the bright golden shades. But in this that project doesn’t look boring , cold or colorless.
FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
SS: Grey and golden - is the substantial basis of the draft. The harmony appears in the mix of contraries here. Grey is the color of the movement to the privacy, peace and relaxation. Golden is grandiose, rich, warm and bright. These colors are contrasting and complementing each other perfectly. Its’ tandem is so naturalistic as the neighborhood of the shade and sun.
FS: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?
SS: My team and me use a lot of various programs, frameworks and different technical equipment for creating a project. It includes programs for sketches and collages creating, for design drawings making, three-dimensional modeling software and applications for photo processing.
FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
SS: I really want to hear or to read professional review of my projects from the jury gentlemen and ladies. I would like to know, what exactly did they find especially interesting and catching. If I would estimate my project by myself, I would name a set of strengths - I mean the original color mix and maximally effective room program.
FS: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?
SS: Assistants, 3d graphic designers, engineers and supply managers help me with my projects.
FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
SS: The apartments are situated in the new modern housing community of lux class. Project works, development researches, researches for professional integration of all conceived ideas in technological and esthetical meanings were held into the reality at the time when reconstruction works were provided by me and my Savateev design bureau team members.
FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?
SS: I had just got an invitation to participate. I’m really thankful for that!
FS: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?
SS: I thank each project and each customer. I try to make my further projects better in comparison with previous one. I’m constantly studying.
