Interior Design StudioDirection of sustainable interiors in the process of apartment finishing or construction of cottages is supported by manufacturers of building and finishing materials. Today, large manufacturers are investing significant amounts in the development of not only environmentally friendly, but also with other attractive characteristics of repair materials.
Eco-friendly materials are made from environmentally friendly and safe materials. These materials are fire-resistant, resistant to fungus and other micro-organisms, and extremely wear-resistant. When using environmentally friendly materials in construction and decoration, the cost of work is likely to increase, but the quality of work, and most importantly, safety, will also become much higher.
The specialists of our company use innovative eco-materials for finishing and construction works. The materials most commonly used in projects are listed below. The list of the newest materials used is constantly updated:
When planning a major repair of an apartment, using innovations in the house, it is worth remembering that you are not performing interior transformations for a year or two. Qualitatively executed finishing of the apartment from eco-friendly materials will serve you from 7 to 10 years. And you will invariably be satisfied not only with its appearance, but also with a beneficial effect on the microclimate in your home.
The cost of all energy resources used by a person has a steady upward trend – that is why the introduction of energy-efficient technologies is of such importance today. New developments not only reduce consumer costs, but also reduce the harmful impact on the environment.
First of all, modern energy-efficient technologies imply the rational use of energy resources.
Installing the Smart Home system allows you to reduce the cost of electricity for heating, lighting, water supply by more than 65%. The Smart Home system allows you to reduce your energy costs, protect your loved ones from short circuits and increase the comfort and coziness of living in your home.

How often on a cold autumn or winter evening you want to warm yourself by the warm hearth, admire the play of the flame and plunge into pleasant thoughts. But, unfortunately, the layout of most typical apartments and houses does not allow you to install a real fireplace. The optimal solution in such a situation would be a conceptually new source of “live” fire – a biofireplace.
Biofireplaces are an unsurpassed combination of innovative technologies and unique design, environmental friendliness and safety. They easily become a full-fledged element of the interior of any room of a small apartment, a country cottage, a cozy cafe, a pompous restaurant or an open terrace. Depending on the type of location in the room, biofireplaces are divided into:
Biofireplaces presented on the Russian market are made in various styles – from classic to high-tech. Outwardly, the biofireplace looks very stylish and solid enough – all the decorative details of the fireplace are made of steel, tempered glass, ceramics, fine wood or natural stone.
Biofireplace will create a unique comfort in the room and will become a source of pride and decoration for every home. The advantages of biofireplaces are undeniable. These devices are:
The safety of the biofireplace is ensured by the unique design of the heating block and the thermal insulation of the body, so that an open flame is always in a controlled area.
Installation of the unit does not require any construction or installation work, such as connection to the exhaust hood, organization of the chimney, fire safety. You just need to free the biofireplace from the packaging and install it in the place you like.
Biofireplaces, being a progressive system, significantly reduce energy costs, as they operate on a special biofuel – denatured ethyl alcohol. It is a 100% natural product that burns without smell and smoke. As a result of the combustion of ethanol, only a small amount of carbon dioxide is released into the air, which each of us supplies to the atmosphere in the process of breathing.
Functionally, the biofireplace consists of two parts – a firebox and decorative elements. At the heart of each device is a hearth with a heating block, which is made of stainless steel.
The heating block is filled with biofuel, which burns with a bright, even flame, does not form sparks, burning, soot, unpleasant odors or harmful gases. The heating block is equipped with a slider cover, with which you can freely adjust the intensity of the flame. Each heating unit undergoes a thorough check for integrity, reliability and conformity of the assembly according to a special testing system.
To operate an eco-fireplace, you do not need to have any special knowledge or skills. It is enough just to study the safety rules to avoid unforeseen situations.
An environmentally friendly, aesthetically attractive, efficient and economical bio-fireplace will delight you, your family and guests for decades, creating a unique comfort in your home, being a source of pride and interior decoration.
The progressive built-in cleaning system consists of several basic elements.
Power unit. Actually the built-in vacuum cleaner itself. Usually installed outside the residential area (balcony, loggia, technical room, garage, under the stairs, etc.)
Piping system. It is laid in a hidden way – in wall slots, floor screed, above suspended ceilings, behind furniture, in decorative boxes.
Pneumatic inlet. Mounted in walls and (or) floors. Outwardly, they look like ordinary electric ones. One socket is enough to clean an area of 50-100 m².
Pneumatic scoop. This is an optional extra. It is usually installed in the kitchen, hallway, winter garden, near the fireplace. Slotted hole in furniture plinth or wall. Suitable for express cleaning.
Cleaning hose. Lightweight corrugated hose can be from 6 to 15 meters long
Nozzles for cleaning. There are standard nozzles for carpets and hard floors, as well as various turbo nozzles, nozzles for furniture, blinds, parquet, clothes, pets, etc.
To start cleaning – just plug the lightweight flexible hose into the socket – and the system is ready to go!
The air flow with dust and debris through the pipeline system enters the power unit, where it is cleaned as much as possible. 96-98% of the dust settles in the dust collector. Fine dust (less than 5 microns in size) is discharged outside the building through the exhaust valve.
The result is a clean home and cleaning with pleasure!
Benefits of cleaning with built-in vacuum cleaner:
Flawless – 100% of the collected dust and litter is removed from the room.
Eco-friendly – when cleaning, air is not recirculated, dust and bacteria leave the room forever.
Convenient – cleaning is almost silent and no need to carry a heavy vacuum cleaner.
Economical – consumes energy like a conventional kettle with a large useful power.
The Hide-A-Hose system (“invisible hose”) is an integrated hose storage system when the cleaning hose is stored in the system pipeline, and to start cleaning you just need to open the outlet and pull the hose to the required length (hose mb length from 9 to 15 m).
Pneumatic kit Vroom – designed for express cleaning. The compact size makes it easy to fit the Vroom™ into furniture such as a wardrobe, cabinet, etc.
Pneumatic kit WallyFlex . Cleaning with built-in vacuum cleaner has become even more convenient and practical thanks to WallyFlex™. Efficient and fast cleaning where you need it: great for a dressing room, an excellent helper in the bathroom and kitchen, garage (for cleaning the car interior).

In the “Smart Home” section of our website, the topic of maintaining a comfortable climate in a residential area through an intelligent control system has already been touched upon. Of course, you can simply buy and install an air conditioner and supplement it with a ventilation system. Today it is already in many apartments and country houses.
When developing project design, we try to introduce innovative technologies in the work on creating climate comfort zones. First, control over the state of air humidity. In summer, at a temperature of about 23 ºС indoor humidity is 50-60%. The exchange of air in the room should occur 3 times per hour. If everything is normal with humidity in our climatic zone and in summer the air conditioner dehumidifies the excess in the region of 20%, then in winter it is necessary to maintain humidity with the help of a steam generator. In this case, the steam generator is built into the supply ventilation system, which should be discussed separately.
This is the second innovative direction. Supply ventilation is designed to constantly supply fresh air to the living space. For example, let’s calculate: a room of 20 m², a ceiling height of 3 m – this is 60 m³ of air. For air exchange 3 times per hour, 180 m³ of air is required. In a three-room apartment, about 700 m³ per hour is required. At the same time, at an outdoor air temperature of +20 ºС, air inflow can be organized by a simple fan, and at a temperature of +5 ºС, it is necessary to solve the problem of heating the supply air flow. For the above volume, a heater with a capacity of 11 kW of electricity is required. Of course, this is a very large expense, which will be unprofitable to pay. And here a device called a recuperator comes to the rescue. This is the third direction. The recuperator is an inexpensive device that allows you to reduce the power of the electric air flow heater by half. The more you want fresh indoor air, the more warm in winter and cool in summer air is thrown out. Together with it, the energy spent on heating or cooling this stream is spent. The recuperator takes heat or cold from the air flow and returns it back. This significantly saves costs and allows you to install electric heaters of lower power. The fourth direction is air filtration. The question arises – how much cleaner is the air outside than in an apartment or house? Almost no different, but the oxygen in the room is systematically replaced by exhaled carbon dioxide. According to sanitary standards, 30 m³ of fresh air is needed per person per hour, and this is the minimum without which a person “kills” himself with the products of his life. So, the task is to improve the supply air by filtering it. Separate filters (cleaning class 3) are installed on the equipment for its uninterrupted operation. Other filters are used for high-quality air purification. For example, class 7 – from small particles, a carbon filter – from harmful impurities, bactericidal – from viruses and microorganisms. The use of progressive systems in the home can make life much more convenient, easier and more enjoyable. Creating interior design project, ionosfera specialists take into account the above innovative trends in creating the microclimate of apartments and houses.

Deciding for yourself the question of what your future home will be like, you can get acquainted with the characteristics of the most common styles in the architecture of cottages. The design project of each house is developed taking into account the requirements of one of them. Today there are 8 styles:
In our country, Swiss and American country music with their inherent minimalism and high functionality are not widely used. As well as the uncomfortable and cold modern high-tech style, where there is too much glass and concrete, is not too in demand. But European and Scandinavian, classical and romantic styles are deservedly popular in the construction of houses.
The facade of a European-style house is square or rectangular, the windows are small, in the form of an arch or a rectangle. Doors are made of wood and painted in a contrasting color of the walls. The basement is finished with facing tiles imitating natural stone. Balconies are designed in these houses. They are minimally simple, but the bay windows are always the highlight of the building. Roof – two- or four-slope. The most common roof material is bituminous or red metal. If you want to break away from tradition, use blue tiles. The entrance part of the house is always a low concrete staircase with several steps. European-style houses usually have 1-2 floors and an attic.
Wooden log cabins, popular today, have little in common with rural buildings of past centuries. In modern wooden cottages clearly traces the Scandinavian style. Houses in this style are usually one- or two-story, the facade is made of natural wood, but can also be painted in red, brown or beige. Large, panoramic windows, the absence of a basement and basement, a small threshold in front of the door and a red tiled roof – Scandinavian houses cannot be confused with any other style. The facade of the house can be decorated with carvings, and bay windows and terraces are a continuation of the building.
Clear lines and forms are the only thing that has been preserved from the historical classical style in architecture. The facade of the building is always logically adjusted, but elegantly decorated, it always has columns. Windows and doors are rectangular or arched, framed with cornices and moldings. Ceiling height must be at least 3 meters, and the most common part of the house are balconies. The entrance part of the cottage stands out with the help of columns, an original staircase or white stone sculptures. The roof usually has a complex shape, and the plinth of the house is usually finished with stone.
Romantic style welcomes the focus on the appearance of the house. Its windows will be in the form of an arch or made in the form of a rectangle with an original visor. The doors will certainly serve as a decoration of the facade, and a spectacular staircase with carved railings leads to the entrance to the house. In such cottages there are necessarily balconies, bay windows, towers and terraces. All elements of the house are usually styled antique. The roof and facade usually have an asymmetric shape, the roofing material is natural tiles.
Modern construction technologies allow us to choose in which house we will live. Someone prefers wooden houses, relying on their environmental friendliness. Someone likes brick houses, as they are reliable and durable. And someone decides to build a house from blocks, so it’s fast, durable and relatively inexpensive. And yet, the house of what materials will be better? And is there such a construction option that can satisfy all our requests for quality and price? Let’s try to find the answer to these questions.
Wooden houses have many great advantages. They are able to provide high living comfort to their owners and maintain an optimal microclimate. And also houses made of wood:
Reconstruction of a wooden house requires the utmost attention to the processing of beams. They must be impregnated with special flame retardants in order to ensure the fire safety of the building. Impregnations are also used to make the wood resistant to moisture, to protect it from blackening and rotting. Logs must have a strict shape and be selected depending on the area of the house being built. The construction process itself does not take much time. Usually wooden houses are assembled “under the roof” within a couple of weeks. An oak piping is laid on a pre-installed foundation (tape or column). Then a frame is mounted from ready-made bars. But a wooden house must be given time to shrink (when building in the summer – up to 12 months, when building in the winter – up to 6 months). Otherwise, the structure may sag or tilt. The roof of the building is covered with roofing material, and after that, windows and doors, partitions, flooring and finishing work are installed.
The advantages of brick houses have been verified over the centuries and by many generations of people who have lived and continue to live in these buildings. brick houses:
When building a brick house, it is important to pay extremely high attention to the foundation. Since the brickwork is characterized by high density, the walls are very heavy. Therefore, the foundation must be very powerful, lying below the level of soil freezing. The high density of the walls has a small heat resistance. In this regard, brick walls must be insulated. Do it from the outside. But if the insulation is done correctly, in such a house it will always be warm in winter and cool in summer.
Block houses are being built according to the most modern construction technology. For their construction, blocks of cellular concrete are used. Among the advantages of such houses:
When building a block house, it is necessary to carefully consider the choice of blocks for strength. If you plan to build a one-story house, you will need blocks with a minimum density of up to 600 kg / m3, for a two-story house you need blocks with a higher density. The thickness of the blocks must be at least 40 cm, otherwise they will not be able to provide the necessary heat and sound insulation. A block house cannot be built to a height of more than 3 floors without organizing a reinforced concrete belt around the perimeter. And the laying of blocks must be carried out on a special adhesive solution. The choice of technology and the main material for building a house, first of all, depends on your requirements for the structure and material capabilities. Fortunately, today you can use both affordable, budget construction technology, and more expensive ones.
