bright color gradients flow through this apartment interior by UR bureau

‘nebo’ by ur bureau: a flow of green, purple, blue, and turquoise

Why use one color if you can have everything at once? Architect Rustem Urazmetov from UR Burau asked himself that question when taking on the NEBO apartment project. Together with his team, he devised a white minimalist interior brought to life by a bright color gradient that weaves its way across every room. 

Urazmetov (see more here) used a continuous line of green, turquoise, blue and purple shades to link several color accents present in one room. The smooth flow of vibrant tones is supported by the furniture’s streamlined shape and variations in the wall geometry. In some areas, like the bathrooms, one color dominates and fills the entire space. 

fitting the home with a cross pattern to heighten visual power

A repeating cross pattern can be seen across the NEBO apartment, especially on handles and cupboards. It’s a symbol Urazmetov often uses in his projects to solidify the overall visual composition. It’s also a clear reference to Ukrainian artist K. Malevich’s use of three primary shapes across his avant-garde work (circle, square, and cross).
