Inside a Moscow Penthouse Where Contemporary Art Defines the Interior

Discover an art-inspired penthouse in Moscow, where contemporary design, natural materials, and artworks create a refined urban home.

Designed by interior designer Valeria Senkina, founder of Dseesion, this 218.5m² Moscow penthouse is imagined as both a home, and a personal gallery. Created for a young client passionate about contemporary art and technology, the apartment blends architecture, custom furniture and artworks into a cohesive urban retreat.

Instead of treating art as decoration, the project integrates artworks directly into the architecture, allowing the interior to unfold as a series of dimensional compositions.

A Graphic Mid-Century Apartment With Parisian Charm

Contemporary furniture and artworks by Andrey Berger and Fabio Viale create a layered gallery-like atmosphere in this living area

A Layout Built Around Light and Flow

At the focus of the penthouse is a generous open-plan living area that combines lounge, dining and kitchen spaces. A dramatic corner window frames panoramic city views, while a sculptural kitchen island binds the room, and acts as a comfortable gathering point for its residents and guests.

The entrance hall introduces the penthouse’s sculptural staircase and artwork by renowned craftsmen.

The apartment also includes the following specifications:

A master suite with en-suite bathroom and dressing room
A guest bedroom with private bathroom
A sound-insulated billiard room designed for entertaining
A staircase leading to a private rooftop terrace

The layout allows each space to feel different – while maintaining a sense of visual continuity throughout the apartment.

The acoustically separated billiard room features a Teckell table and Henge lighting.

A Calm Palette with Rich Materiality

Natural materials define the interior palette of this home. Wood, stone, glass and metal are used in restrained combinations to create a sophisticated architectural backdrop.

The colour scheme centres on earthy tones, with eucalyptus greens layered against light fabrics, leather finishes. and deep Black Tempest granite surfaces – while warm metallic accents add depth and subtle contrast.

Large wall planes, high ceilings and expansive windows reinforce this apartment’s sense of openness and livability.

Layered accents add texture and depth, reinforcing the apartment’s architectural influence

Reflective Surfaces and Layered Glass

Glass plays a defining role throughout the penthouse, both visually and technically.

In the master bedroom, the wall behind the bed features a layered glass panel with a mirrored gradient and satin finish that diffuses light softly around the space. The master bathroom continues this theme with a mirror that shifts from neutral tones at eye level, to lilac and green tones above.

An olive-toned mirror along the staircase has only partial reflectivity, visually extending the circulation space without creating excessive flare.

Warm olive and eucalyptus tones create a calm, enveloping mood in the main bedroom and adjoining bathroom.

A Sculptural Kitchen Island

One of the apartment’s most distinctive elements is the custom kitchen island designed by Dseesion, and produced by French manufacturer Rinck Paris.

The piece features an 8cm-thick quartz countertop with minimal lining, paired with an alcantara-created base by Studioart. Sculptural green glass panels with integrated lighting add some depth, highlighting the island’s unusual tapered form.

More than just a functional surface, the island acts as an essential design object within the living space.

A corner panoramic window frames the space, anchored by a custom kitchen island designed by Dseesion, produced by Rinck Paris.

Art as the Final Layer

Art was developed specifically for the project – reinforcing the apartment’s identity as a living gallery.

Artist Andrey Berger, created wall and ceiling paintings that extend the architectural lines of the interior, while Alex Kuznetsov produced a vibrant artwork for the entrance hall that unfolds along the direction of movement around the space.

Sculptures by Fabio Viale complete the composition, introducing sculptural weight to the interior, removing restrained elements in the overall design of the apartment.

The result is a penthouse that balances visual tranquility with expressive detail – a contemporary home where architecture and art exist in constant communication.
