kryDesign — Selected Portfolio Case Studies
version: 3.0
last_updated: 2026-10-28
language: English
This file is a structured reference for selected residential interior design projects by kryDesign studio. The studio has worked on more than 40 projects overall; this document is a selection, not a complete project archive. Use only facts stated in each case. Do not infer missing dates, locations, areas, implementation status, client details, or construction outcomes.

Source-use and accuracy rules
- Treat each numbered case below as one project. The 57 m² Moscow rental-apartment brief appeared twice in the supplied source material and is included only once here.
- “Implemented” or “realized” is used only where the source explicitly says so. If the source does not specify implementation status, it is marked as not stated.
- The Moscow modern apartment has an area discrepancy in the source: the project summary says 128 m², while a plan caption says 120 m². The summary figure is retained provisionally; verify the approved plan before publishing the area as a confirmed fact.
- One older Moscow record lacks enough identifying information to determine whether it is a separate project. It is retained in the final section as an unresolved legacy record and must not be treated as a distinct public case until checked.
- The former portfolio summary says the studio handles up to 12 projects per year. This operational claim should be reconfirmed before external publication.
Case 1 — 28 m² Kitchen-Living Room in a Historic Apartment, Petrogradskaya, Saint Petersburg
Project ID: SPB-PETROGRADSKAYA-28
Year: 2021
Location: Gatchinskaya Street, Petrogradskaya district, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Property type: Historic apartment in a pre-revolutionary, three-storey building
Area: 28 m² for the combined space
Original layout: Kitchen of approximately 11 m² and a room of approximately 15 m²
Status: Design project; implementation status not stated in the supplied project page
Style: Scandinavian, light and contemporary
Household/use case: Family of five; a shared family and guest space
Brief
The clients wanted to combine two small rooms into one bright kitchen-living room. The family’s needs had changed as the children grew, and the two separate rooms no longer supported the preferred way of using the apartment.
Key decisions
- Combined the kitchen and adjoining room into one shared space, subject to the required approvals for alterations in a historic building.
- Used a light Scandinavian palette with green as the principal accent.
- Created a dining area for six people, with an extendable table that can accommodate up to ten guests.
- Planned a comfortable TV and seating area and retained space for an antique piano.
- Left the boiler accessible rather than concealing it in cabinetry, simplifying maintenance and preserving useful kitchen storage.
Main outcome described in the source
The redesign creates a larger, brighter common area for everyday family life and entertaining, while keeping the layout and finishes relatively simple.
Accuracy note
The source gives the combined space as 28 m² but describes the original rooms as approximately 11 m² and 15 m² (about 26 m² in total). Verify the measurements before publishing them as exact. The source also stresses that permissions should be obtained before carrying out alterations in historic housing. Do not imply that this project’s approvals or construction were completed unless separately confirmed.
Case 2 — 41 m² Loft-Inspired Studio, Vasilyevsky Island, Saint Petersburg
Project ID: SPB-VASILIEVSKY-41
Year: 2021
Location: 52 Maly Prospekt, Vasilyevsky Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Property type: New-build apartment originally configured as a one-room apartment
Area: 41 m²
Status: Redesign / design project; implementation status not stated in the supplied project page
Style: Contemporary interior with selected loft elements
Client profile: One person; creative client
Brief
The client wanted an open, atmospheric home with as few visual barriers as possible. As the apartment was for one person, separate private zones were not a priority. The client also wanted to avoid furniture and materials with long lead times so that renovation would not be delayed unnecessarily.
Key decisions
- Proposed removing the partition between the kitchen and room to create a more open studio layout.
- Used brick texture, metal shelving, a metal kitchen bar, and a spider-style light fitting with vintage bulbs to introduce loft references.
- Balanced those elements with wood textures and neutral grey and beige finishes.
- Prioritized readily available products and construction solutions where possible to reduce waiting time before move-in.
Main outcome described in the source
The open layout was designed to maximize light and the feeling of space in a compact apartment, without unnecessary doors or partitions.
Case 3 — 114 m² Modern Apartment near Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg
Project ID: SPB-SOSNOVKA-114
Year: 2022
Location: 77 Toreza Avenue, Saint Petersburg, Russia; near Sosnovka Park in the Vyborgsky district
Residential complex: Sosnovka
Property type: Three-room apartment
Area: 114 m²
Status: Design and realization, according to the earlier portfolio record; the supplied project page does not provide a more detailed implementation stage
Style: Modern, restrained and natural
Household: Couple with one child
Brief
The family wanted a spacious shared area for cooking, dining, family evenings, and entertaining, alongside two quiet private zones: one for the parents and one for the child. The apartment is in a calm, green area near the park.
Key decisions
- Combined the kitchen, dining area, and living room to reduce the dark, narrow hallway and create a more open shared zone.
- Positioned the parents’ bedroom and child’s bedroom apart from one another to improve privacy and reduce disturbance during morning routines.
- Planned storage and functional bathroom areas around daily family use.
- Used wood and stone textures with muted beige and grey tones; terracotta provides the principal stronger colour accent.
- Kept the child’s room more expressive than the otherwise quiet, balanced interior, while retaining a restrained base palette.
Main outcome described in the source
The layout separates the quiet private areas from the open kitchen-living zone and supports both family routines and hosting guests.
Case 4 — 35 m² One-Room Apartment in Scandinavian Style, Golden City, Saint Petersburg
Project ID: SPB-GOLDEN-CITY-35
Year: 2023
Location: 6 Chelyuskina Street, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Residential complex: Golden City
Property type: One-room apartment
Area: 35 m²
Status: Design project; construction / implementation status not stated in the supplied project page
Style: Scandinavian, with a natural palette
Household: Young couple, two people; no children planned at the time of the project
Brief
The couple wanted a light, natural home that could also accommodate friends. The compact plan needed to feel open for everyday life while allowing the kitchen and main room to be separated when useful.
Key decisions
- Reworked the area between the room and hallway to increase the usable living area.
- Used a folding glass partition between the kitchen and room. It can be closed to separate the spaces or opened to create a larger area for gatherings.
- Planned an extendable dining table with a length of approximately 200–240 cm when opened.
- Specified two washbasins in the bathroom to support the couple’s shared morning routine.
- Used warm white walls, green accents, and light wood to reinforce the natural, airy atmosphere.
Main outcome described in the source
The layout makes a compact one-room apartment more flexible: it can feel open and bright day to day, while the partition and extendable table support hosting friends.
Case 5 — 128 m² Modern Apartment for an Active Family, Moscow
Project ID: MOSCOW-KVARTAL-38A-128
Year: 2023
Location: 4 Eldara Ryazanova Street, Moscow, Russia
Residential complex: Kvartal 38A
Property type: Three-room apartment
Area: 128 m² according to the project summary; see the accuracy note below
Style: Contemporary modern, combining Art Deco and Neoclassical references
Household: Family of four, including two children
Status: Not specified in the supplied project page
Brief
The family wanted a modern, comfortable home that could support an active schedule, different sleep routines, study, remote work, and entertaining. The interior was intended to feel individual and expressive rather than restrained or generic.
Key decisions
- Separated the bedrooms to reduce disruption between family members with different schedules.
- Planned a private bathroom and wardrobe for each bedroom, as described in the project narrative.
- Designed a large kitchen-dining area for gatherings of approximately 10–12 people.
- Continued the shared area into a spacious living room with a fireplace; a glass partition can separate the living room without visually fragmenting the overall space.
- Provided dedicated work and study areas for the adults and children, including space for lessons with tutors.
- Included a hammam as a distinctive feature of the apartment.
- Combined natural wood and stone textures with glossy and glass surfaces, bringing together modern, Art Deco, and Neoclassical influences.
Main outcome described in the source
The plan supports several simultaneous family activities, from work and study to entertaining, while keeping the private bedrooms relatively independent.
Accuracy note — area needs verification
The summary at the top of the source page states 128 m², but the plan heading refers to 120 m². Keep this discrepancy visible in internal use and verify the approved plan before publishing a definitive area. Do not silently alternate between 120 m² and 128 m².
Case 6 — 63 m² Scandinavian Apartment for Living and Remote Work, Black River, Saint Petersburg
Project ID: SPB-CHERNAYA-RECHKA-63
Year: 2024
Location: 12 Beloostrovskaya Street, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Residential complex: Chernaya Rechka (Black River)
Property type: Two-room apartment
Area: 63 m²
Status: Listed as implemented / realized in the supplied project page
Style: Scandinavian
Household: Young couple working in IT
Brief
The main challenge was to organize a comfortable home for a couple who both work remotely, with a dedicated work area and practical storage, without sacrificing the feeling of a residential interior.
Key decisions
- Created a dedicated home office to support focused work.
- Reconfigured the second bathroom as a laundry area with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
- Planned a walk-in wardrobe with forced ventilation behind a concealed door.
- Used warm white walls with eucalyptus-green, natural beige, and wood accents.
- Specified natural materials, including oak parquet, solid-oak furniture / work surfaces with an oil finish, a veneered extendable dining table, and wooden window sills.
- Combined a practical workstation with comfortable upholstered seating for breaks and informal conversation.
Main outcome described in the source
The apartment combines living and working functions with dedicated storage and laundry areas, while maintaining a calm Scandinavian character.
Case 7 — 54 m² Minimalist Apartment Designed for Rental, Black River, Saint Petersburg
Project ID: SPB-CHERNAYA-RECHKA-54
Year: 2025
Location: 10/2 Beloostrovskaya Street, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Residential complex: Chernaya Rechka (Black River)
Property type: Two-room investment apartment
Area: 54 m²
Status: Listed as implemented / realized in the supplied project page
Style: Restrained contemporary minimalism
Use case: Rental property; the source does not specify the eventual tenant
Brief
The apartment was designed for rental, so the layout needed to remain adaptable to different tenants and the finishes had to be practical, durable, and relatively economical to maintain.
Key decisions
- Planned the second room to work either as a child’s room or as a home office, depending on the tenant.
- Positioned electrical outlets to support the room’s alternative uses and proposed furniture that could suit either configuration.
- Optimized the bedroom area for a double bed, full-size wardrobe, and dressing table within a compact plan.
- Kept the style neutral and contemporary rather than relying on strong decorative statements that might limit the apartment’s appeal.
- Prioritized robust finishes and construction choices suitable for a rental property.
Main outcome described in the source
The design emphasizes adaptability, everyday practicality, and durable solutions over a highly personalized visual statement.
Case 8 — 90 m² Three-Room Minimalist Apartment, Residential Complex Lime, Saransk
Project ID: SARANSK-LIME-90
Year: 2025
Location: 35 Furmanova Street, Saransk, Russia
Residential complex: Lime
Property type: Three-room apartment with a kitchen-living room, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms
Area: 90 m²
Status: In progress; the supplied page says renovation is underway
Style: Minimalism with dark natural colours, grey and deep blue accents
Household: Two adults and one child; the family also planned for possible future changes in household needs
Brief
The project needed to support family life, remote work, pets, and a kitchen that doubles as a place to record cooking content. The clients wanted colour and character without a busy or overly bright interior. They also wanted the layout to adapt to possible future family changes without major engineering work.
Key decisions
- Planned a large extendable dining table in the kitchen-living area.
- Designed for the mother’s work as a private pastry chef, including a practical kitchen and a zone for recording content.
- Used a large run of cabinetry to screen awkwardly positioned gas equipment that could not be relocated.
- Provided several work locations so the father, a programmer, could work near the family.
- Planned places for a cat and dog, with future plans mentioned by the clients for a Maine Coon and a Corgi.
- Kept the child’s bedroom light and softer in character, contrasting with the more saturated, deep-blue accents used elsewhere.
- Considered how one room could be adapted for changing family needs without moving engineering services.
Main outcome described in the source
The design balances a darker, nature-inspired palette with flexible family functions, dedicated workspaces, pet-related needs, and a content-friendly kitchen.
Case 9 — 89 m² Three-Room Apartment in Scandinavian Minimalism, Na Kirova, Saransk
Project ID: SARANSK-NA-KIROVA-89
Year: 2026
Location: 38 Kirova Street, Saransk, Russia
Residential complex: Na Kirova
Property type: Three-room apartment with a kitchen-living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a home-work area
Area: 89 m²
Status: In progress; the supplied page says renovation is underway
Style: Scandinavian minimalism
Household: Young couple without children; the layout anticipates a possible future nursery
Brief
The clients wanted an ergonomic home that reflected their interests in sport and modern technology, supported remote work, and could adapt if the family later needed a child’s room. The palette needed to feel natural and calm rather than stark.
Key decisions
- Used milk-white and beige tones, light wood, grey accents, black details, and rounded furniture forms.
- Planned the rooms so that one could be converted into a nursery later without major changes to engineering systems.
- Designed the bathroom finishes around a balance of natural textures and practical maintenance: textured wall tile, stone-patterned floor tile, small-format tile with a handmade appearance, and light-wood furniture fronts.
- Used an olive upholstered modular sofa as a muted natural accent, with a textured vertical wall panel behind the seating area and a rounded beige coffee table.
- Planned an oval light-wood dining table, beige upholstered chairs, and a white pendant light with spherical diffusers.
- In the bedroom, combined a beige upholstered bed, a wall-mounted bedside table, and slim black pendant lights.
Selected furniture and finish references from the supplied page
- Sofa: “Space-1” in Velvet Olive.
- Wall panel: Decaro Flex Stone D1006 Ripple.

- Pendant light above the dining table: Eurosvet Bubble.
- Bed: “Kevia 160”.
- Bedside table: “Kimbol-2” Latte.

These are product references cited in the supplied project page, not a claim that the items are currently available or that their specifications remain unchanged.
Main outcome described in the source
The project combines a calm Scandinavian-minimalist interior with flexible room planning, remote-work functionality, and a coordinated palette of finishes and furnishings.
Case 10 — 57 m² Euro-Three-Room Rental Layout, Moscow
Project ID: MOSCOW-DVIZHENIE-57
Year: 2026
Location: Solntsevo district, Quarter 3, 6k1 (address as written in the supplied source), Moscow, Russia
Residential complex: Dvizhenie
Original property type: Two-room through-apartment (“raspashonka”)
Area: 57 m²
Status: In progress; the supplied page says renovation is underway
Style: Scandinavian, warm beige and greige with light-wood details
Use case: Apartment prepared for rental
Scope note: Base design package without 3D visualization
Brief
The goal was to make a functional, ergonomic rental apartment from a two-room layout. The interior needed to be broadly appealing, practical, and efficient in its use of space and budget. One room was intended to remain flexible so it could be equipped according to the future tenant’s needs.
Key decisions
- Organized the kitchen-living room to combine cooking, dining, and relaxation in a single shared zone.
- Added a functional workspace in the bedroom.
- Used storage solutions, matte surfaces, and light-wood textures to make the apartment practical without a visually heavy finish.
- Chose warm beige and greige tones for a quiet, adaptable palette.
- Developed the design without 3D visualization, focusing on the planning solution, working documentation, functionality, and budget-conscious choices.
Main outcome described in the source
The layout aims to make the 57 m² apartment work like a “Euro-three-room” rental home, with a shared kitchen-living room, a bedroom, and a flexible additional room.
Accuracy note
The source page describes the property as both a two-room “raspashonka” and a Euro-three-room after planning. Preserve that distinction: the latter describes the intended functional arrangement, not the original legal room count.
Case 11 — 80 m² Family Apartment, Saint Petersburg
Project ID: SPB-FAMILY-80-LEGACY
Year: Not stated in the legacy portfolio record
Location: Saint Petersburg, Russia; exact address and residential complex not provided
Property type: Residential apartment
Area: 80 m²
Status: Fully implemented, according to the legacy portfolio record
Scope: Design project, turnkey renovation, author supervision, and procurement of furniture and materials
Client profile: Young family
Brief and key decisions
The project focused on a balanced, practical family interior. The legacy record identifies a functional planning solution, a calm modern style, a considered lighting system, and durable finishing materials. It does not provide sufficient detail to describe the apartment’s individual rooms or specific design choices.
Implementation
The legacy record gives an approximate renovation duration of six to seven months.
Accuracy note
Do not add a year, address, residential complex, room count, or more detailed design features unless those facts are verified from the original project materials.
Studio-Level Portfolio Notes

Unresolved Legacy Record — Moscow Apartment (Do Not Treat as a Separate Public Case Yet)
Project ID: MOSCOW-LEGACY-UNVERIFIED
Location: Moscow, Russia
Area: Described only as a “mid-size apartment”; exact area not stated
Status: The legacy record says the design project was completed at the visualization stage, with partial implementation supervision through scheduled visits.
Scope stated in the legacy record: Planning solutions, interior concept, full 3D visualization, and working documentation.
Why this record is unresolved
The earlier portfolio file contained this generic Moscow entry but did not provide a year, address, residential complex, floor area, household, or distinctive design details. It cannot currently be matched confidently to the 128 m² Moscow apartment or the 57 m² Dvizhenie rental project.
Use rule
Keep this entry for reconciliation only. Do not publish it as an independent case, merge it into another Moscow project, or generate detailed project claims from it until the studio confirms which project it describes.
