The design concept of the public spaces in the Moments residential district aims to reflect the values of the entire complex through spatial forms and imagery. For Moments, these values are harmony, comfort, and beauty.
The development consists of three towers of varying height, connected by a common stylobate surrounding the inner courtyard. We designed a grand lobby with different zones for meetings and relax, coworking spaces with a library, living room with kitchen, children area. A unified stylistic approach and key design solutions were applied across all zones, adapted to their specific spaces.
The interior concept is inspired by the strict forms of the architecture, with the angles of the panoramic windows reflected in the interior elements. A distinctive feature of the grand lobby is the lowered ceiling with a triangular extension. Triangles are also integrated into the furniture elements designed by our team specifically for this project.
The three dominant materials in the spaces are wood, stone, and metal. Each flows seamlessly from one space to another in unified volumes, textures, and shades. We used veneer for wall and furniture finishes, porcelain stoneware for floors, walls, and reception desks, and steel for column and door finishes.
BABAYANTS ARCHITECTS
The BABAYANTS ARCHITECTS team has been exploring contemporary design forms for ten years.
The studio designs and implements interior and architectural projects in a minimalist style.
For us, minimalism is not just an aesthetic direction, but a response to modern life, a necessity. It reflects our approach to the world and life, and only later influences artistic characteristics.
We live in the future, aiming to stay ahead of time with every sketch. In each project, we strive to create something new and make a discovery. We design not just spaces, but sensory experiences, inner states, and emotions.
