Remodeling "Khrushchev"
At one time, small apartments in the panelhouses, called people "Khrushchevs", helped not one Soviet family to move their uncomfortable barracks and communal apartments into their own separate dwelling. Undoubtedly, it is impossible to name these close flats a masterpiece of architectural thought, however, anyway, everyone was happy with such an alternative, even with a tiny kitchen, a combined bathroom and small rooms. These houses have survived to this day, families still live in them, but today the owners are looking for acceptable options for replanning the "Khrushchev" in order to make it a comfortable and cozy modern apartment.
The main "scourge" of all small apartments isclose kitchen and narrow corridors. And if you can still put up with a combined bathroom and small rooms, then a kitchen of five square meters and a corridor-cell kill all members of the family. The redevelopment of the "Khrushchev" helps to expand these important premises and make them more functional and convenient.
Despite the fact that these apartments are calledsmall, they can consist not only of one, but also of two, three, sometimes even four rooms. It is understandable that the redevelopment of the "Khrushchev" of a larger area gives slightly different possibilities than the alteration of a small apartment. However, there are several ways in which even a modest "odnushka" can become quite modern and decent housing. The main one is the demolition of the walls between the room and the kitchen. Thanks to the combination of these two rooms, there is more space for kitchen furniture, and the living room itself can play the role of dining room, bedrooms, and places for recreation.
Remodeling "Khrushchev" from two or more roomsgives you much more opportunities, it allows you to make a large studio apartment due to the demolition of the walls not only between the kitchen and the living room, but also the unification of these premises from the hallway. The remaining small rooms can be equipped as a bedroom or a nursery, which will allow all members of the family to have a small but personal space. A competent interior design, properly selected lighting and application for the design of the zoning principle will help make the old premises a modern and quite comfortable apartment.
Practically in every small apartment there isA small storeroom, which the redevelopment of "Khrushchev" also did not pass by its attention. This room can be equipped with a spacious dressing room or, having broken the wall, attach it to the main room, thereby increasing its useful area.
Planning large-scale works onreconstruction of the apartment, which are associated with the demolition of the walls, do not forget that without special permission they will be deemed illegal. Such a construction process requires preliminary coordination with the relevant authorities, which sometimes leads to large monetary and time costs. Therefore, an apartment such as a "Khrushchevka", the redevelopment of which sometimes requires radical measures, can not always be equipped in accordance with its own tastes due to many existing and still bureaucratic obstacles.
