Wall decoration at the entrance. Russia has developed standard options for repairing entrances for high-rise buildings

The entrance of a high-rise building is the entrance to the building for residents of all floors and the hallmark of the house. The depressing view of the front door - cracked paint, peeling plaster, defects in windows, doors, steps - cannot but cause a desire to put the room in order and make repairs in it. It is produced every three to five years, or even more.

The first step is to inspect the premises and assess its condition. Sometimes you just need to plaster and paint the surfaces, and in some cases, for example, if the walls have obvious signs of damage, chips, broken glass in the windows, a more serious set of measures will be needed.

It is necessary to decide on the types of work and draw up an estimate, which will include the estimated cost of building materials, paints, components and payment for the repairs made. You also need to choose a company whose specialists will do the job.

The redecoration of the entrance "on a turnkey basis" includes:

• jointing of seams;
• sealing cracks, potholes, cracks, holes, individual sections of the walls;
• restoration of the integrity of the plaster coating;
• strengthening decorative stucco elements;
• sealing defects in concrete floors;
• repair or replacement of flooring without changing the design;
• painting walls or gluing wallpaper;
• whitewashing the ceiling;
• painting window frames and replacing glass in them;
• repair of entrance and attic doors (if necessary, replace them);
• replacement individual parts garbage chute;
• painting of handrails, gratings, handrails, elevators;
• porch renovation.

In each individual case, this list can be supplemented. Outside of planned time redecorating entrance to apartment building to repair obvious damage or to repair conspicuous defects such as signs of vandalism.

Terms of execution and cost of work

Repair work in the front door is always associated with certain inconveniences. Residents are forced to constantly smell the paint, hear the noise made by the repairmen, walk up to the upper floors if the electricity is turned off. Therefore, when planning a redecoration of the entrance, you should calculate how long it will take. This directly depends on the volume of activities performed.

The most convenient time to spend renovation works at the entrance - from 9:00 to 17:00 hours. During this period, most residents are outside the home: adults - at work, children - at school and kindergarten, students - at school. Thus, workers, performing repairs, will not become an obstacle to the movement of residents.

It should be noted that staircase repair services are seasonal in nature and are usually provided in warm time of the year - in spring and summer. Therefore, giving preference to repair in winter period, you can negotiate a discount.

The cost of the service depends on the condition and area of ​​the stairwells, the number of floors, the type of finishing used, technological processes... The customer can independently purchase necessary materials, or the rembrigade takes over this task. When buying goods, it is better to focus on certified materials.

In order to find an acceptable solution, calculate the costs and agree on all the nuances, it is necessary to invite a specialist to the site before starting work. Many repair and construction companies provide such a service free of charge: they make measurements, draw up a defective statement, a calculation, an estimate.

Some firms work without prepayment, and also provide installments.

The end result of the cost of restoration work is limited by the financial capabilities of the customer. To achieve favorable cost a well-designed design project will help, which will provide an entrance with a noble appearance.

Contractor selection

High-quality and timely work is a guarantee of peace of mind for customers. Therefore, the choice of a company that will deal with repairs should be treated carefully and responsibly. It is worth paying attention to contractors that have been on the service market for more than three years and have proven themselves well. Impeccable reputation firms - a guarantee of the quality of work. It will not be superfluous to study customer reviews and talk with a company representative.

A prerequisite should be the conclusion of an agreement for the implementation of the necessary measures, which clearly spells out the types of work, their cost, timing and guarantee for the services provided. It is possible to separately agree on tight deadlines for completing the task without disrupting technological processes.

It is desirable that the team owns a personal vehicle (it is mobile enough and can deliver tools to the site to perform work).

Repair progress

Before starting repairs, workers cover apartment doors decking made of special film to protect them from paint stains or whitewash marks.

Redecoration of the entrance begins with the removal of old coatings that have become unusable, unbundling of old seams, and elimination of traces of leaks. Cleaning is carried out manually using a spatula, grinder with a brush or drill with a nozzle. The defective wall covering is dismantled, the cracks formed as a result of shrinkage of the building are expanded for their further sealing with a plaster mixture.

If old frames or windows become unusable, they are dismantled. Broken glass is removed from the frames.

Loose handrails of the railing are strengthened, tightened. Renovate door frames and canvases, if necessary, change them.

To level the ceiling and walls, a smoothing layer of plaster is applied to them. Separate damage to the surface is sealed with it. The finishing touch is a primer, which is selected in accordance with the type of surface. It provides an extra secure grip between the wall and the finish.

Next stage - Painting works... Putty is pre-applied to the painted surfaces so that the paint or whitewash adheres better. First, whitewash is applied to the ceiling, after which they begin to paint oil paint walls including flights of stairs... You should use an improved quality paint with a harmless composition. After painting, the surfaces should be smooth, glossy or matt without the appearance of the lower layers of paint.

Painting methods can be varied - from the usual textured to the now popular wall painting.

Redecorating options can be tile laying, wall cladding with laminated panels.

The paint applied to the door leaf must be moisture resistant and not subject to deterioration from weather extremes.

Metal surfaces of heating pipes and other communications, enclosing structures and gratings, railings, wooden window frames also paint.

On the switchboards of each floor, after having repaired their doors, the numbering of apartments and floors is applied. The external wiring is hidden in plastic boxes.

Before restoring concrete floors, the type of damage must be determined. It depends on what material will be used. Cracks often appear at the junction of the wall and floor. The most common defects:

• small cracks and chips;
• cracks;
• small indentations, indentations.

After determining the degree of damage, choose a mixture for restoration concrete surfaces and designs. The packaging indicates for what degree of damage it is intended.

The slots are widened in depth and width, cleared of contamination from the depressions, and treated with a primer. Fill the cracks with a special mixture and wait for shrinkage, after which a second layer of coating is applied, drying and grinding are performed. Additional protection can be provided by paint on concrete, which is applied at the end.

The final chord of the restoration cosmetic work is the decoration of the front door from the street. Porch, steps and railings, sheet steel or soft material canopies are being repaired.

A company with a good reputation after completing all necessary work construction garbage, which accumulates in their process, is taken out of the entrance during the day. This is prescribed in the contract as a separate clause and is included in the estimate.

After the repair has been completed, the customer accepts the work. During the warranty period, the repair company will eliminate the defects at its own expense.

In order for the front door to acquire a beautiful and well-groomed appearance, it is necessary to make quality repair, in compliance with technological standards. Having found out what is included in the redecoration of the entrance, entrusting such a responsible task to real professionals, having studied the presented on the market Decoration Materials and having calculated the cost of the work, you can be absolutely sure of their excellent result. Renovated premises yet long time will leave only positive emotions for the residents.

Let's look at the approaches to it in Moscow and the cities of Switzerland. Many people ask me why Switzerland? Because in terms of the level of comfort, the achievements of the infrastructure, high standards of quality of life, it is difficult to find any other place. Highly important point is that these are honest achievements, since we are talking about standards for the whole country and its inhabitants. Therefore, I will try to cover just ordinary housing. This article applies not only to Moscow, but also to all other cities of the Russian Federation and other countries. The question is not about money, but about the approach and what we want to achieve at the exit.
This article continues "Entrances, courtyards and visual housing and communal services in the Metropolis of Zurich, how bright and good example Moscow." http://mostovoy-a.livejournal.com/5625.html

Let's not waste time and see the level, quality and repair technologies of the second decade of the 21st century in Moscow entrances. Let's start with the entrance.

Switzerland. The entrance to the most ordinary house far beyond the big and wealthy cities. The factory-made door is striking in a serious enterprise with modern technologies and materials. Everything is thought out here. The handle is made of stainless steel, which means it is durable, it does not need to be painted. It is large, vandal-proof, it is securely fastened, it is impossible to break it. That is, this handle is designed specifically for the front door in an apartment building. And she looks gorgeous with her minimalist style.

The larva is covered with an armor plate. The door, although metal, has glass. Modern approaches have long been able to make an all-glass door from impenetrable glass. At the same time, the entrance will acquire a sense of elegance and openness. Pay attention to the floor - granite covering. It is granite that is an eternal material, unlike various tiles that are actively used in Moscow for finishing everything - the entrances of residential buildings, facades, when finishing the porch. In this case, the tile is used for internal works only a few mm thick. And this is in our climate. It is no wonder that today Moscow is all in falling tiles, which first crumble and then fall off piece by piece or entirely. What good is a renovation like this? Why is it impossible to learn solidity from the Swiss, because we once had it?

A familiar picture awaits us inside. A sea of ​​dangling wires, crooked walls, frayed stair treads, etc. This entrance, like many others, is at the stage of renovation. What is it? Closing entrance doors, filling, painting, possible replacement mailboxes. Above, a part is already painted.

This is what the putty looks like. It is better not to do it in this form at all. Definitely, if you take on this business, then you first need to make the geometry of the room, align the walls, make right angles. That's what Rotband is for. Next, you need to putty finishing putty... It must be applied completely to the entire surface to be painted, which is why it is white. Maybe at least the paint is good?

Unfortunately no. Will anyone buy themselves this home? There is Caparol, Dyulux and even better - beautiful, high-quality, durable and clean paint. The colors are awful too. But such a paint simply cannot be mixed good color, she initially cannot convey it, unlike German or English.

The front doors were closed during the painting, but the rest? What to do with it now, as well as with accuracy painting works generally?

But, of course, it was necessary to start with a project, with engineering communications... It is necessary to remove all this disgrace. And this is in every home. Nobody wants to care about the appearance of the place where he lives. How to fix? To do this, make grooves and wiring in the corrugations. This is how it is usually done. Let's say the building is exceptional, but you can at least make one box under the ceiling, and then sew it up with drywall and paint it. And already start up small wires in the grooves. Another problem is dim light. Even humanly removing such an entrance will not work.

It is interesting that any good transformation begins with the fact that you need to throw out all that is superfluous - some physically, and some visually hide, as with wiring.

This is a Swiss entrance. Here the geometry is perfect, the walls are neatly painted (of course, with high-quality paint and not in one layer). Steps and floor are paved granite tiles... Such an entrance will serve for more than a dozen years, and the repair will consist in just one repainting of the walls and it will always look fantastic, this is what we should strive for))). Do you see the wires here? Of course, they are not, cannot and should not be. Among the disadvantages is the lack of handrails.
It is possible to assume that this new house, but in the old it is different. Let's see.

The house is very old, it does not belong to the category of elite housing, but everything is as it should be. The geometry of the walls is correct, the stairs are neatly painted (when painting, each old layer is carefully removed so that there is no sandwich of ten different layers), of course, there are no wires on the walls and ceilings, as well as traces of repairs in the form of smudges and surfaces stained with paint.

Entrance to the entrance of another house. Transparent doors (once in the USSR there were such ...), clean, simple and tidy.

Many attentive readers might have noticed in the photographs of Moscow entrances old mailboxes... The maximum that they are threatened with is a replacement for such, "new sample" made according to the standards of ... tsaty years.

Couldn't it be otherwise? Can.

In an amicable way, it should be like this, if the yard is really the second dozen of the 21st century ...

These mailboxes are made in Switzerland from aluminum. By the way, a significant amount of raw materials for the Swiss industry is extracted from garbage in order to then make such wonderful things for their infrastructure. In order to master this production, it is necessary to master the extrusion of aluminum. But then you can make trolleybuses after the boxes, which they do with success (about them in my previous articles about HESS AG). What is the problem with taking a license and launching such production here? Aluminum durable material, it does not need to be painted, it is always pleasing to the eye, and the drawers close as nicely as the doors of expensive cars. Of course, the boxes are the very last thing to repair, because first you need to deal with other problems.

Let's look at an example of repairing one of the entrances in Switzerland.

Condition before renovation. Let's see the details.

Kids, like ours, love to scandalize. Not very successful attempts to paint over the inscriptions are visible (the Swiss were lucky, unlike Moscow, they have not yet learned how to paint over even granite surfaces instead of washing them). The elevator is in a sad state. This is an old model without internal closing doors from the Swiss factory Schlieren. Today the plant no longer exists, it went bankrupt and today there is only one elevator manufacturer in the country - Schindler. Together with the German TussenKrupp, these 2 factories are the best manufacturers of elevator equipment in the world today! We need to get a license and build such factories in the Russian Federation. This is what you need to think about first.
More about Schindler

Let's see the details. We see that the wall covering is the so-called "fur coat". Not the old one, but the new generation. A neat, flawless job. Such a fur coat allows you to maximally protect the walls from minor damage and abrasion. During friction, only the upper "stones" are erased, that is, the wall generally retains its appearance. The Swiss have chosen the prettiest type of fur coat.

There is granite on the floor, it is as easy as possible to wash it, from the side we see a high-quality border from it, of course, without paint smudges. The rule "clean where there is no litter" does not always work, as I emphasize once again that such a floor and conditions will always contribute to cleanliness, since cleaning is as efficient as possible even with minimal effort.

I would like to compare the budgets of Moscow and Geneva for example. Comparison of efficiency, of course, and not total amounts - how many per 100,000 inhabitants.

Moscow 11 "600" 000 citizens - CHF 49 "780 Mio (USD 52 400 Mio) = 429 Mio for 100" 000 citizens
Geneve 200 "000 citizens - CHF 1" 100 Mio = 550 Mio for 100 "000 citizens

That is, in francs 429 million in Moscow against 550 in Geneva. Given the huge difference in minimum wages, as well as the harshest conditions and standards of Switzerland, one thing can be said - happiness is not in money))). Everything can be done for any budget, if you wish.

In this article I want to talk about the repair of entrances and stairwells. The terrible state in which they are in many homes does not offer any hope, if you remain an ordinary observer and do nothing.

Repair of entrances of apartment buildings by management companies or by their own hands?

Who should repair the staircase? It's the XXI century. New buildings, renovations, penthouses are everywhere, and you walk into a house that is 20 years old or a little over, and your hair stands on end! Dirt all around, peeling paint, broken lamps, broken sockets with bare wires, a coal-black ceiling, etc., etc.

When you live in such filth, you are no longer surprised that the walls are becoming more painted every day, and that somewhere in the corner lies something that emits a fetid odor all over the entrance. And in such a situation it is very good when there are housing cooperatives or condominium associations in the house, which try not to take matters to extremes and more or less monitor the house. But what about those who have nowhere to write an application for the renovation of the entrance to the management company?

Let's take a look at our houses. In 5-storey Khrushchev buildings, these are usually staircases to 4 apartments, located in a square on each floor. In point houses with 2 entrances, in 9 or 14 floors, there are staircase corridors with 6 apartments per corridor on each floor.

We are all the time waiting for someone to come and put the house in order. For example, the pipes used to be changed for free once every 30 years (or 20 years?). I don't even remember. In general, this is all sad. And if you live in a house where there is no owner, then the state of affairs will not improve and no one will clean up the dirt if the tenants themselves do not take the initiative into their own hands.

Redecoration of an entrance in an apartment building

On our website, we tell you in great detail how to make repairs in own apartment... You must first or, then level the walls, after going through, then everything is the same, then paste the wallpaper ... Everything seems very long and monumental.

However, the whole trouble is that people do not even realize how simple and fast it is, in comparison with an apartment, to make repairs in the entrance, and that funds will be spent on this at a minimum. In this case, you can either make repairs to the residents themselves, or throw off and hire ordinary (NON-COOL) craftsmen, since the work that needs to be done in the corridor is extremely primitive.

How to make repairs at the entrance with your own hands? Let's look at the options for repairing the entrances. Nobody makes us do overhaul, but cosmetic is quite within its power. Let's define the scope of work. It is necessary to bring the walls and ceiling to a more or less decent condition - something that is striking and either makes us happy every day, or depressing.

Repair of walls in the entrance

Usually, there is no wallpaper in the entrance and staircase corridors. Most often we see just painted walls. But the paint is peeling in places, peeled off in places, in places someone's art is visible on it:

How to fix the wall? Logically speaking, 2 very important conclusions suggest themselves:

1. There is no point in leveling the wall, since we do not need to glue the wallpaper. Therefore, even if the wall is overwhelmed in one direction or another, it's okay, which means: plastering the walls along the lighthouses - the most difficult stage - disappears!
2. The easiest way to paint a painted wall is to simply re-paint it. To do this, you only need to beat off the paint in those places where it easily beats off, which means that: the whole old paint no need to beat off from all walls!

Important!

Corridors can be damp, so it is better to use a cement-based filler rather than a plaster-based filler.

The only thing you need to remember is that before you put the repair compound or putty on the wall, you need it first in those places where the repair is supposed to be.

Repair of porch ceilings

The ceiling, most likely, will not please you either. We do its repair one-on-one with the walls: we beat off the crumbling parts of the old putty or chalk and prime the places to be repaired. Then we close up large chips with a repair compound, the rest of them with putty.

Output. When preparing the ceiling, you don't need to strip off all the old chalk:

Sanding walls and ceilings

Then we take water-based paint and paint the walls:

In order to make an even border between the ceiling and the wall, we use paper tape. You need to paint the ceiling before scotch tape. Then we remove the tape and glue it on the painted place to the border where the paint on the wall should go. We also paint the wall from below and up to the scotch tape. In the same way, you can make a border going from the bottom of the floor (a strip of paint of a different color).

It is better to paint the wall in a light tone, since the general atmosphere in the corridor will be more fun, besides bright hues visually expand the space.

Tidying up the electrical wiring at the entrance

In order for the appearance of our entrance to acquire a finished look, it is also a good idea to tidy up the electrician. No, you don't need to reconnect anything! You just need to remove the old wooden, half-decayed and dilapidated boxes in which electric wires and install a new plastic cable channel and, if possible, replace the fixtures:

Summing up

As you can see, staircase repair is not such a tricky thing. The works are simple. Yes, you have to tinker a little. But you must admit that this is nothing compared to renovating an apartment. But you know how your mood will improve when at the entrance and on staircase you will be clean and comfortable. Then you pause and put another on the floor tile... And then you will be very good.

How to arrange an entrance to the house on your own? Unfortunately, most of the citizens are ready to invest only in the renovation of their apartment, without thinking about this. public place as an entrance. And a couple of enterprising tenants who want to improve at least their staircase, complain about the lack of funds and unwillingness to do at least something for the benefit of each other.

Is it possible to fight this, and how to improve the entrance on your own with minimal costs?

How to decorate the entrance on your own

Decorating the entrance on your own is much easier than it might seem at first glance. For example, some residents actively decorate their stairwells before the New Year and attract children to this, you can use stencils for drawings on the windows, snowflakes, garlands.

Of course, if it comes about more serious options for arrangement, you cannot do without the help of adults. Unfortunately, some of the Russian entrances are in such a state that they can be repaired only by serious measures: painting the walls, insulating the windows.

Convenient access devices

To make life easier, you can use several convenient fixtures for the entrance:

1. Hooks designed for heavy bags. You can buy them at any hardware store, and for mere pennies. Such a device is very convenient, because such hooks will allow you to free your hands and allow you to calmly find the keys to the apartment and open the door.
2. A newspaper rack or any other wall-mounted metal holder that can be used to store books or newspapers. Such a device will be very convenient for those people who like to combine smoking with reading a book. In addition, the magazine rack is very convenient for exchanging books between neighbors, they can share among themselves the literature that they have already studied before;
3. Ashtray. The presence of this device guarantees that a cigarette butt that has not been extinguished by one of the neighbors will fly to the floor or into the garbage chute, which can cause a fire. Odor absorbers can also be purchased to avoid conflicts between smokers and non-smokers due to the smell of tobacco;
4. A notice board that can be hung on any floor, next to an elevator or other good traffic area. On this board, you can write any notes, for example, with a request to water flowers, do not smoke, do not make noise.

Purity

The most common problem faced by residents in almost all regions of the country is litter and dirt. One way to combat this is by writing funny ads. Often, neighbors agree that it is much more pleasant to live in cleanliness, and they begin to clean in their entrance one by one.

In some cases, tenants manage to come to an agreement and hire a special person who will regularly (for example, once a week) clean the entrance.

Order

Unfortunately, the walls in most Russian entrances require at least cosmetic repairs and new paint. Often, the responsible structures, whose responsibilities include the maintenance of flights of stairs and landings, do not fulfill their obligations.

You can solve this problem yourself, and you can do it in several ways:

1. Agree with neighbors on the formation of a budget for the acquisition of all the necessary building materials, agree with the housing and communal services serving the house on the direction of the contractor for repair work;
2. The second option is to negotiate with the creative residents of the entrance, who will be able to paint the site;
3. If the enterprising tenant himself also knows how to draw, he can do it on his own.

Natural flowers

Cleanliness and order in the entrance can be supplemented with fresh flowers. You can start, for example, from your floor: as practice shows, such an example often inspires neighbors. Surely, most of them will agree to support the idea and put new fresh flowers on the windowsills on their floors.

Housing elements in the entrance

If landings are more like a piece of housing than a common space, they are treated differently. Of course, hardly anyone wants to litter in a cozy corner that looks more like a house.

For example, for landscaping, you can use old furniture, various hooks and shelves from your household. You can ask neighbors to help, put ashtrays on each flight of stairs so that residents and visitors do not have the desire to throw ashes and cigarette butts on the floor.

Procedure

Self-painting walls

Entrance walls are often painted in ugly, often even ugly colors. Therefore, first of all, it is worth painting the walls, and this can be done in several ways:

1. If the tenants do not have painting experience, you can simply stick posters or large-format photographs on the walls;
2. If an initiative citizen has painting experience, you can paint the walls at least on your own floor. You can first consult with your neighbors - there is a possibility that they wanted to do the same, but did not dare;
3. If there are extra cash, you can hire specialists who can paint the walls in the entrances;
4. For a small fee, you can ask an art student educational institution paint the walls in the entrance.

Staircase decoration

First of all, it is worth talking to your neighbors and persuading them to start a joint project to create comfort on the staircase. If the UK does not provide a cleaner, you can agree on cleaning in turn, draw up an appropriate schedule.

The next step is to jointly carry out cosmetic repairs in the entrance. You can do this yourself, simply by painting the walls with a spray gun or by inviting an artist who will depict beautiful landscapes or animals, making the staircase unique.

If the house does not have doors with combination lock, you can collect money and buy it for your entrance. Such a door will avoid uninvited guests, which, of course, will not guarantee the preservation of cleanliness in the entrance, but will allow you to keep the premises in a new form for a much longer time.

You can decorate the staircase using homemade work, wall newspapers or pictures, which means that children can also be involved in ennobling. You can put several unpretentious fresh flowers on the windowsill.

Window

After decorating the walls, you can start decorating the windows: first of all, they must be thoroughly washed. On the windowsills, you can put napkins made from inexpensive fabric or ordinary oilcloth.

You can place several pots of flowers on each windowsill. It is advisable to choose those plants that do not require constant care and watering, since it is likely that there will be no way to take care of them regularly.

Windows can also be decorated with additional curtains made by yourself.

Elevator

The elevator is also one of the problem areas in which people smoke, litter and relieve themselves. You can cope with this only on your own, trying to ennoble it. First of all, you need to wash the elevator, get rid of all unpleasant odors using neutralizers.

You can decorate the room itself by painting the walls, posters and large-format photographs.

How to make a museum entrance

Over the past few years, museum entrances have appeared in several cities of Russia at once, which have already been chosen by local residents, who call such places nothing else than heritage.

It is quite simple to make a staircase a real work of art:

1. You can invite an artist (or if the initiative tenant is a jack of all trades himself) and decorate the walls from floor to ceiling;
2. You can ask your friends and neighbors for antique interior items in order to harmoniously place them on the stairwells (of course, there should be appropriate repairs on the flights and platforms themselves).

What are the restrictions

Installation of a vestibule on a staircase is possible only when 75 or more percent of residents on this site agree to hold such events.

How to inspire your neighbors

As practice shows, the most difficult thing in arranging an entrance is to inspire your neighbors to do this. Unfortunately, often some tenants are not even able to replace the light bulb on their own staircase.

You can only persuade such citizens to improve the entrance by your own example. Of course, this method will not work on all neighbors, but you can get at least minimal support.

Another option is to hold a meeting at which caring neighbors will be able to express their opinion on the arrangement of the entrance, decide what exactly can be done on their own.

Watch a video about the equipped entrance

Today, leaving the elevator in my entrance, I once again became convinced that the navigation in it was done by builders, and not marketers. And despite the fact that the ceilings in the “front door” are more than 5 meters, and recently the paint on the walls was completely renewed (the house is three years old), there is a box under the mailboxes instead of a beautiful bin for “spam”, and there is no information about the location near the elevator apartments on the floors.

Residents of the house see the entrance, or, as it is also called, MOP (public place ) usually at least twice a day... Why are developers so undeservedly paying little attention to it? Inconvenient navigation, gloomy or, on the contrary, too harsh colors of the walls, outdated mailboxes .. ... The other extreme: s The builder makes a museum out of the entrance, placing many attributes that do not affect the comfort of living in any way. Most often, the latter scenario is implemented in business and luxury class housing.

An entrance is a place of transition from one environment to another. Past what we are should immediately understand where the elevator is located, on which floor the required apartment is located, we should just be pleased to be in this space. “Comfort is not furniture, not a home, not a place. Comfort is when the soul is calm. " So, the minimum task is "so that the soul is calm." The maximum task is "to make it happy." To change the image and meaning of the entrances, solutions are needed, thanks to which residents will begin to treat the entrances differently.

The MOS standard is just emerging on the market as a functional space filled with air and light, with its own unique look.

Let's see how advanced developers in Russia and abroad cope with this.

# 1 They design entrance to the staircase without steps and a glass door

The entrance to the staircase, designed at the same level with the sidewalk, so that residents do not have to climb stairs, is convenient for the elderly, residents with disabilities, for cyclists, parents with strollers. So far, such a "find" is rare, but every year there are more and more such projects and, most importantly, they are found in the mass segment.

Farther - glass door into the entrance. A person must see where he enters and exits. What are we so afraid of, why are we putting up terrible iron doors? A glass door is, first of all, the safety of residents, it is saving on lighting, because in the vestibule it is already light from the fact that street light gets there. It is stylish and aesthetically pleasing compared to conventional iron doors. And in general, glass doors have been installed everywhere in the world for a long time.

“The transparency of the entrances and first floors is part of today's urban planning ideology,” the chief architect of Moscow said recently.

Need more arguments? Designer Artemy Lebedev, as always, spoke brilliantly on this topic - I would like to showcase a couple of photos published in his post.

# 2 They take a hands-on approach

The wall covering should be as easy to clean as possible. One Moscow developer uses tiles on the walls - a great solution. And the color is a reflection of the brand of the project or developer.

In the residential complex SREDA - modern design dropped ceilings volumetric lattice structure with built-in lamps; porcelain stoneware for flooring. Combined wall surface finishes combine smooth texture with the “textured concrete” technique. The color scheme consists of dark and light shades. beige colour muted intensity.

And the city quarter "River Park" even held a competition among architectural firms (which, by the way, is not a reason for PR?). The concept simultaneously combines modern design and practical use. The main material is decorative ceramic tiles. Its performance properties are designed for the longest possible period.

In 90% of cases, you will stop at the elevator while waiting for the arrival of the car. Very often you have heavy bags or packages in your hands. Simple bench(or even a surface) that will allow you to put this "good" while waiting - what could be simpler and more budgetary? And I am sure that every second resident will remember the developer at this moment with a kind word.

Separately, let's say a word about mailboxes.
