Wall decoration in 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 appearance 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 it is only necessary 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 perform the work.

The turnkey entrance renovation includes:

• stitching;
• sealing cracks, potholes, cracks, holes, individual sections of 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;
• wall painting or wallpapering;
• whitewashing the ceiling;
• painting window frames and replacing glass in them;
• repair of entrance and attic doors (if necessary - their replacement);
• replacement individual parts garbage chute;
• painting of railings, gratings, handrails, elevator;
• porch repair.

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

Terms of performance and cost of work

Repair work in the front door is always associated with certain inconveniences. Residents are forced to constantly smell paint, hear the noise made by repairmen, and 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 for repair work at the entrance - from 9:00 to 17:00 hours. During this period, most residents are away from home: adults are at work, children are at school and kindergarten, students are at school. Thus, workers, performing repairs, will not interfere with the movement of residents.

It should be noted that porch repair services are seasonal and are usually provided during warm time year - 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 staircases, the number of floors, the type of finish used, technological processes. The customer can purchase necessary materials, or this task is taken over by the rembrigade. 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 for free: they take measurements, draw up a defective statement, cost estimate, estimate.

Some firms work without advance payment, and also provide installments.

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

Choosing a contractor

Qualitative and timely work carried out is a guarantee of peace of mind for customers. Therefore, the choice of a company that will deal with repairs should be taken 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 to carry out the necessary activities, which clearly spells out the types of work, their cost, timing and guarantee for the services provided. You can separately agree on short deadlines for completing the task without violating 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 flooring from special film to protect them from paint stains or whitewash marks.

The redecoration of the entrance begins with the removal of old coatings that have become unusable, the stitching of the old seams, and the elimination of traces of leaks. Cleaning is done manually using a spatula, a grinder with a brush or a 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 the old frames or windows have become unusable, they are dismantled. Broken glass is taken out of the frames.

The loose handrails of the railing are strengthened, twisted. Renovate door frames and canvases, if necessary, change them.

To level the ceiling and walls, a smoothing layer of plaster is applied to them. It also closes up individual damage to the surface. The finishing touch is a primer, which is selected according to the type of surface. It gives additional reliable adhesion between the wall and the finish.

Next stage - Painting works. Putty is preliminarily applied to the surfaces to be painted so that the paint or whitewash holds better. First, whitewash is applied to the ceiling, after which they proceed to painting oil paint walls, including flights of stairs. Improved quality paint with a harmless composition should be used. After painting, the surfaces should be even, 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.

Options for cosmetic repairs can be laying tiles, wall cladding with laminated panels.

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

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

On the electrical panels of each floor, having previously repaired their doors, the numbering of apartments and floors is applied. 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, notches.

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

The slots are expanded in depth and width, the recesses are cleaned of dirt, treated with a primer. Cracks are filled 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 concrete paint, which is applied at the end.

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

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

After the repair is completed, the customer accepts the work. During the warranty period, the repair company eliminates 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 products on the market Decoration Materials and having calculated the cost of the work, you can be absolutely sure of their excellent result. The renovated premises for a long time will leave the residents with only positive emotions.

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 comfort level, infrastructure achievements, high quality of life standards, it is difficult to find any other place. Very 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 end.
This article continues "Entrances, courtyards and visual housing and communal services in the Zurich Metropolis, both bright and good example Moscow." http://mostovoy-a.livejournal.com/5625.html

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

Switzerland. Entrance to the ordinary house far beyond the big and rich cities. A factory-made door at 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, anti-vandal, 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 chic with her minimalist style.

The larva is covered with an armor plate. The door, though metal, has glass. Modern approaches for a long time they allow to make a completely glass door from impenetrable glass. At the same time, the entrance will acquire a feeling of elegance and openness. Pay attention to the floor - granite coating. 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. The tiles are used for internal works only a few mm thick. And this is in our climate. It is no wonder that today Moscow is covered with crumbling tiles, which first crumble and then fall off in pieces or entirely. What's good about a renovation like this? Why is it impossible to learn solidity from the Swiss, because we once had it too?

Inside we are waiting for the usual picture. A sea of ​​dangling wires, crooked walls, scuffed stairs, and so on. This porch, like many others, is under renovation. What is it? closure entrance doors, puttying, painting, possible replacement mailboxes. The top has already been painted.

This is what spatula looks like. It is better not to do it at all in this form. Definitely, if you take on this matter, then first you 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. Is anyone going to buy this for their home? There is Caparol, Dyulux and even better - beautiful, high-quality, durable and clean paint. The colors are terrible too. But such paint simply does not mix good color, she initially cannot convey it, unlike German or English.

The entrance doors were closed during painting, and the rest? What to do with it now, as well as with accuracy painting work generally?

But, of course, it was necessary to start with a project, with engineering communications. We need to clean up all this mess. And this is in every home. Nobody wants to take care of the appearance of the place where he lives. How to fix? To do this, make strobes and run wiring in 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 put small wires in strobes. Another problem is the dim light. It’s impossible to even remove such an entrance in a human way.

Interestingly, any good transformation begins with the fact that you need to throw out everything superfluous - some physically, and some visually hide, like with wiring.

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

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 staircase is neatly painted (when painting, each old layer is carefully removed so that there is no sandwich from a dozen other layers), of course, there are no wires on the walls and ceilings, as well as traces of repair in the form of smudges and paint-stained surfaces.

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

Many attentive readers might have noticed in the photographs of Moscow entrances the old mailboxes. The maximum that threatens them is a replacement with these, "new models" made according to the standards of ... the last years.

Can't it be otherwise? Can.

In a good way, it should be like this, if the yard is really the second decade of the 21st century ...

These mailboxes are made in Switzerland from aluminium. By the way, a significant amount of raw materials for Swiss industry is mined from garbage, in order to then make such wonderful things for their infrastructure. In order to master this production, you need 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 a similar production with us? Aluminum durable material, it does not need to be painted, it always pleases the eye, and the drawers close as nicely as the doors of expensive cars. Of course, boxes are the last thing to repair, because first you need to deal with other problems.

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

Condition before renovation. Let's see the details.

Kids, like ours, love to mess around. 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 sorry 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 TüssenKrupp, these 2 factories are the world's best manufacturers of elevator equipment today! We need to take a license and build such factories in the Russian Federation. Here's what to think about first.
More about Schindler

Let's see the details. We see that the wall covering is the so-called "fur coat". Only not the old, but the new generation. Neatly executed, impeccable work. Such a fur coat allows you to maximize the protection of the walls from minor damage and abrasion. During friction, only the upper "pebbles" are erased, that is, the wall generally retains its appearance. The Swiss have chosen the cutest 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 well-laid curb from it, of course, without smudges of paint. The rule "clean where they don't litter" does not always work, as I emphasize once again that such a floor and conditions will always contribute to cleanliness, since cleaning is most effective even with minimal effort.

I would like to compare the budgets of Moscow and Geneva for example. Of course, a comparison of efficiency, and not total amounts - how much 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. Considering the huge difference in minimum wages, as well as the most severe conditions and standards of Switzerland, one thing can be said - happiness is not in money))). Everything can be done with any budget, there would be a desire.

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

Repair of entrances of apartment buildings by management companies or do it yourself?

Who is responsible for porch repairs? In the yard of the XXI century. Everywhere new buildings, renovations, penthouses, and you go into a house that is 20 or a little more years old, and your hair stands on end! There is dirt all around, peeling paint, broken lamps, broken sockets with exposed wires, a jet-black ceiling, etc., etc.

When you live in such dirt, you are no longer surprised that the walls are becoming more and more painted every day, and that somewhere in the corner lies something that emits a fetid smell throughout the entire entrance. And in such a situation, it is very good when there is a housing cooperative or HOA in the house, which try not to take things to extremes and more or less watch the house. But what about those who have nowhere to write an application for the repair of the entrance to the management company?

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

We are always waiting for someone to come along and fix the house. For example, pipes used to be changed for free every 30 years (or 20 years?). I don't remember anymore. All in all, it's sad. And if you live in a house where there is no owner, then the situation will not improve and no one will clean up the dirt if the tenants themselves do not take the initiative into their own hands.

Cosmetic repair of the entrance to an apartment building

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

However, the whole trouble is that people do not even realize how easy and fast it is, compared to an apartment, to make repairs in the entrance, and that it will take a minimum of funds. In this case, you can either make repairs to the residents themselves, or chip in and hire ordinary (UNCOOL) craftsmen, since the work that needs to be done in the corridor is extremely primitive.

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

Entrance wall repair

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

How to fix a wall? If you think logically, then 2 very important conclusions arise:

1. There is no point in leveling the wall, since we do not need to glue the wallpaper. Therefore, even if the wall is littered in one direction or another, it's okay, which means: wall plastering on lighthouses - the most difficult stage - disappears!
2. A painted wall is easiest to just repaint. To do this, you only need to beat off the paint in those places where it is easily beaten off, which means that: all old paint no need to beat off all the walls!

Important!

Corridors can be damp, so it is better to use cement-based putty rather than gypsum-based putty.

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

Repair of ceilings in the entrance

The ceiling, most likely, will also not please you. We repair it 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 repair staff, the rest of the parts with putty.

Conclusion. When preparing the ceiling, you do not need to rip off all the old chalk:

Sanding walls and ceilings

Then we take water-based paint and paint the walls

In order to make a smooth border between the ceiling and the wall, we use paper tape. You need to paint the ceiling to the adhesive tape. Then we remove the adhesive tape and paste it on the painted place to the border where the paint should go on the wall. We also paint the wall from below and up to the adhesive tape. Similarly, you can make a border going from below the floor (a strip of paint of a different color).

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

Tidying up electrical wiring in the entrance

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

Summing up

As you can see, the repair of entrances is not such a tricky thing. The work is simple. Yes, it will take a little fiddling. But you must admit that this is nothing compared to the repair of an apartment. But you know how your mood will rise when at the entrance and on landing you will be clean and comfortable. Then you pause and put more on the floor tile. And then you will be very good.

How to decorate the entrance to the house on your own? Unfortunately, most of the citizens are ready to invest only in the repair of their apartment, without thinking about it. public place like an entrance. And a couple of enterprising residents who want to ennoble at least their landing, 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 ennoble the entrance on your own at minimal cost?

How to decorate your entryway

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

Of course, if we are talking about more serious options for arrangement, it is impossible to 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: by painting the walls, insulating the windows.

Convenient entryway equipment

To make life easier, you can use several convenient devices 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. 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 ensures that a cigarette butt not extinguished by one of the neighbors will fly to the floor or into the garbage chute, which can cause a fire. You can also purchase odor absorbers that will avoid conflicts between smokers and non-smokers due to the smell of tobacco;
4. A bulletin board that can be hung on any floor, next to an elevator or other place with good traffic. On this board, you can write any notes, for example, with a request to water the flowers, not to smoke, not to make noise.

Purity

The most common problem faced by residents in almost all regions of the country is a lot of garbage and dirt. One way to deal with this is to make joke ads. Often, neighbors agree that it is much more pleasant to live in cleanliness, and they begin to clean in their stairwell one by one.

In some cases, residents 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, covering with 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 purchase of all necessary building materials, agree with the housing and communal services serving the house on the direction of the repair work contractor;
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 himself.

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 quite often inspires neighbors. Surely, most of them will agree to support the idea and put new fresh flowers on the windowsills on their floors.

Elements of housing in the entrance

If the landings are more like a part of the housing than a common space, they have a completely different attitude. 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 every flight of stairs, so that residents and visitors do not have the desire to throw off ashes and cigarette butts on the floor.

Procedure

DIY wall painting

The walls in the entrances 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 residents do not have painting experience, you can simply stick posters or large-format photographs on the walls;
2. If an enterprising citizen has painting experience, you can paint the walls at least on your floor. You can first consult with your neighbors - it is likely 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 hallway.

Decoration of the landing

First of all, it is worth talking with the neighbors and persuading them to start a joint project to create comfort on the landing. If the management company 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 it yourself by simply painting the walls with a spray gun or by inviting an artist to depict beautiful landscapes or animals, making the landing unique.

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

You can decorate the landing with homemade works, wall newspapers or pictures, which means that children can also be involved in ennoblement. You can put a few unpretentious fresh flowers on the windowsill.

Window

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

You can place several flower pots 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 clean the elevator, get rid of all unpleasant odors using neutralizers.

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

How to make an entrance museum

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 more than a treasure.

Making the entrance a real work of art is quite simple:

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

What restrictions exist

The installation of a vestibule on the landing is possible only when 75 percent or more of the residents on this landing 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 it. Unfortunately, often some tenants are not even able to change the light bulb on their landing on their own.

It is possible to persuade such citizens to improve the entrance only by their 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 the video about the equipped entrance

Today, leaving the elevator at my entrance, I was once again convinced that the navigation in it was done by builders, not marketers. And despite the fact that the ceilings in the “front” are more than 5 meters, and recently the paint on the walls was completely renewed (the house is three years old), instead of a beautiful box for “spam”, there is a box under the mailboxes, 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 (place of public use ) usually at least twice a day. Why do developers so undeservedly pay little attention to it? Inconvenient navigation, gloomy or, conversely, too harsh wall colors, outdated mailboxes .. . Other extreme: the builder makes a museum out of the entrance, placing a lot of attributes that do not affect the comfort of living. 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. Beyond what we are should immediately understand where is the elevator located, on what floor is the necessary apartment, we just have to be pleased to be in this space. “Comfort is not furniture, not a house, not a place. Comfort is when the soul is calm. So, the task is at least - "to make the soul calm." The maximum task is "to make it joyful." In order to change the image and meaning of entrances, solutions are needed, thanks to which residents will also begin to relate to the entrance in a different way.

The market is just beginning to form the standard of MOS 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 entrance, designed at the same level as the sidewalk, so that residents do not have to climb stairs, is convenient for the elderly, residents with disabilities, 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 to 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 it is already light in the vestibule from the fact that street light gets there. It is stylish and aesthetic compared to conventional iron doors. And in general, glass doors have long been installed everywhere in the world.

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

Need more arguments? On this topic, as always, the designer Artemy Lebedev spoke brilliantly - I would like to show a couple of photos published in his post.

#2 They take a practical approach

Wall coverings 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 tile for floor coverings. The combined wall surface finish combines a smooth texture with the use of the “textured concrete” technique. The color scheme consists of dark and light shades. beige colour subdued intensity.

And the city block "River Park" even held a competition among architectural firms (what, 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 time.

At the elevator in 90% of cases you will stop waiting for the arrival of the cab. 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.

What do you usually put in there? That's right, advertising spam. Therefore, you need to make a special beautiful urn for him. This should become a standard - instead of the usual cardboard boxes.
