A couple of years ago Ilya and Kate started to rent an apartment overlooking the park of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Regardless of its weird organizing, so common of ex-communal dwellings, the apartment was adapted for comfy living. A bathroom standing correct in the kitchen, which is a regular element of many Soviet flats, was partitioned off with a dense grey theatre curtain. A tight study was equipped with a bonus sleeping berth on the upper level, which regularly serves as kind of a guest space for friends.
Responsible for the renovation was the landlord – a scene-painter. When Kate and Ilya moved in, the apartment’s interior only featured a couple of chairs, a sideboard, a bath, a clock and a handful of old radio and record players. The guys purchased the rest of the furniture on a flea marketplace and ordered shelves and little stuff from IKEA. Soon the dwellers plan to move in an apartment of their personal, and this one particular is at the moment waiting for the new roomers.
The blinds, which partition the bathroom off, have been made by the landlord from a theatre curtain: they do not admit sound and light.
