Hideout Residence in St. Petersburg

Hideout is a new project by the Wynwood Hotel team. It’s a new community quarter offering residences for permanent living or renting for any period. The architectural ensemble is based on the mansion of State Councillor Charles Gascoigne. In the 19th century, it was home to artists from the Marine Printing House and later to captains of Imperial yachts.

Hideout doesn’t have usual hotel rooms or apartments. All the spaces are called residences, which are uniquely designed in collaboration with leading architectural and design studios. Our bureau worked on residence #14.

The residence is designed to be a private art space that combines minimalist design, unique furniture pieces, and contemporary art. The space is like a cabinet of curiosities, gradually revealing its various artifacts. In German, there’s a special word for this: “wunderkammer,” which refers to a place for storing rare and secret items.

The architecture of the apartment features clean forms and geometric contours. The unique furniture with original shapes and textures stands out against this backdrop.

The Wunderkammer, an elegant rack, is one of the key objects in the residence. It stores a curated selection of art objects and antiques that will be constantly changing. The Wunderkammer is a kind of micro-gallery that reflects the passion of the project founders for collecting contemporary art!

The soft-lighted bedroom is decorated with paintings by the artist Galya Fadeeva. The reinterpreted floral ornaments refer to the luxurious chambers of the ancient palaces and mansions of St. Petersburg, turning the room into a unique art object.

The residence was designed to be flexible and flowing, resembling an enfilade in Empire style. The space can function as a spacious studio or be divided into more private areas.

Mirror and metal surfaces of the kitchen area create a spectacular play of light. The checkerboard parquet flooring evokes a sense of the past reimagined in a modernist style.
