Entry Description

COORDINATION has designed and completed a new private apartment in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Located on the 30+ floor in the highest and most prominent building of the city, the
Esentai Tower, this apartment is aimed to be a place for sensory and intellectual
stimulation as well as a refuge for reflection and relaxation.
The brief for the project was to create a setting purely for leisure, mainly intended for
weekend breaks or short stays. This freed the design from the practical limitations
usually associated with residential projects and made it a one-of-a-kind opportunity for
the design team. Enjoying the full trust of the local client couple, COORDINATION was able
to freely create and realise a vision of a very individual yet site-specific interior.
Starting with a blank core & shell canvas the space was equipped with everything necessary
for a luxurious multi-sensory experience celebrating a very unique setting. Initially
intended as a three-bedroom apartment the layout was turned into a luxurious one-bedroom
loft-style space. The scope of the project encompassed the complete spatial planning,
interior architecture and engineering. This included the design and selection of all
surfaces, lights, built-in furniture elements, kitchen units, loose & bespoke furniture
pieces, accessories, design editions and a curated, bespoke art selection. Every joint and
screw was considered and carefully planned to create a completely harmonious experience.
The L-shaped floorplan was composed with a clear spatial hierarchy between social and
private areas. It reveals 270° city views while „leaning“ against the impressive setting
of the surrounding Tian-Shan mountains. Certain areas where emphasized by sloping and
shifting and create physical sensations uncommon in a normal home. The experience is a new
sensation of space, elegantly flowing without interruption.
