For sports and recreation

Not so often the attic becomes the main room where three generations of a large family gather. But under the roof of this house, everyone will find a place for interesting activities, and a cozy corner for relaxation. Thanks to a good layout, the space turned out to be multifunctional, and a successful decorative solution helped to create a joyful atmosphere.

A large family, consisting of a grandmother, grandfather, mother, father and two children (son and daughter), at the first meeting struck the designer with their optimism and cheerfulness. So the artistic image of the given space — an abandoned attic of their house — immediately began to take shape as a direct reflection of the active lifestyle and hobbies of the owners. Sailing boat racing — the favorite sport of the male half of the family, so the theme of a sail filled with wind and decor in the form of thick ship ropes turned out to be absolutely appropriate here.

The «sail» was the ceiling, which has the shape of an arc in its upper part. (The structure is made of drywall, bending radius — 3m.) This form is supported by the «drawing» created by the side walls of two open lockers at the end of the room. The ropes were wrapped around all the wooden rafters and roof support beams, it turned out to be an excellent «finishing coating». True, this spectacular solution required a lot of patience: it took 3.5km of rope that weigh as much as 170kg! New flooring — special, sporty, it is made of Tarafl ex vinyl (Gerfl or, France). Such coverage is used even at Olympic venues. On such a floor, playing table tennis (the table for the game was installed in the center of the attic) will be comfortable, and the gray steel color of the floor will remind you of the cold sea.

Several recreation areas were arranged along the walls of the attic. ATone of them installed a large soft sofa. It consists of five individual modules (four with backrest and one without) that can be moved around to create different combinations. Opposite him, a TV was placed on a swivel stand. Near the sofa — children’s corner (place for drawing) and daughter’s favorite «toy» — «dry pool». We also found a place for a tea table and two armchairs, where you can retire and talk in the cozy light of a lamp. All upholstered furniture is upholstered in chenille. The orange color of textiles “glows” in the interior, like the setting sun over the sea, creating a life-affirming mood that suits the owners of the house.
