A professor’s apartment overlooking MSU

Moscow, Stalin-era building · 120 m²RUGER DESIGN

The design of this 120-square-metre apartment in a Stalin-era building overlooking Moscow State University reflects both the history of the building and its owner: a professor of Spanish philology at MSU, an author of books on Spanish literature, a passionate traveller and an art lover.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area brings together a round table beneath a shaded light, an inherited Art Nouveau sideboard, a piano and the owner’s collection of paintings.

The atmosphere of a Moscow family home has been preserved: a place where everyone gathers around a round dining table in the evening, cherishes objects passed down through generations, reads books and appreciates painting. Instead of familiar mass-produced pieces, the interior features vintage furniture, restored and reupholstered in new fabrics.
