Apartment design P-44T according to all the canons of modern design

The modern design approach is the redevelopment of the old housing stock with the zoning of rooms according to the functional principle. But this is not very convenient to do in panel-type houses, including P-44T apartments. The main difficulty is to get permission for redevelopment, since most of the internal partitions are load-bearing walls. Experts have worked out in detail the options for domestic development of the late twentieth century, which surpass their predecessors in terms of convenience and footage. Linear and undershirts, one-, two- and three-room options, with a loggia or bay window – you can modernize everything, moreover, each layout in its own way.

The design of apartments in houses of the P-44T series is largely determined by the restrictions on redevelopment, since almost all walls are load-bearing

Architectural features of houses of the P-44T series

The P-44T structures were developed back in the late 70s, becoming an improved version and development of the P-44 series. The first quarters appeared in new buildings in the capital in 1979 and immediately became the “elite” housing of that time.

The development caught on, since nothing better was offered for almost 4 decades, although a lot was invented. According to this project, they are still building, although in the last decade, residential areas have been built according to different projects. But they all in some way inherit the design project P 44T, which was most widespread in the 90s..

Interior renovation must be carried out taking into account building restrictions

The so-called improved houses were offered with different numbers of rooms. Three-room apartments were most convenient for families with children of different sexes. Typical buildings – high-rise buildings with 9, 14, 17 and 25 floors (from 2 to 8 entrances, occasionally with the letter “G”, “P” and “broken staircase”). An area of at least 80 square meters with isolated rooms – what more could you want for a comfortable stay in a big city?!

A large area with a spacious loggia or a large balcony, a spacious kitchen and an entrance hall are obvious advantages of any layout. A well-thought-out design project of apartment P 44 in a modernized version can successfully compete with apartments built on the basis of the latest developments, as in the photo.

You can equip the entire apartment in a single design or choose a different style direction for each isolated room.

One-room apartments of this series are also much more convenient than “Khrushchev” and “Brezhnevok” – up to 39 m² of the total area. The main room is 19 m², the kitchen is 7-9 m². This provided additional sleeping space on a fold-out couch, for example, for an adult child. For a well-thought-out design of a large room in the P-44T, there are good opportunities, high ceilings up to 2.75 m allow you to mount multi-level structures and lay original floors. A large entrance hall and a loggia are additional advantages of such apartments.

Attention! Today, for redevelopment and reorganization of living space, they often turn to specialists. The examples of the arrangement of apartments in the “old” fund are most often illustrated by the interior of apartments in houses of the 44 series, they are the most suitable.

You can do the design of the P 44 one-room, two-or three-room apartment on your own using successful projects with a photo as an example.

Advantages of three-room apartments 44 series

Multi-room options are designed for families with children, and the state allocated them for those with 2-3 children or for the prospect of their birth. Pros of the project:

isolated rooms with a separate entrance;
a spacious kitchen that can be easily divided into a working and dining area;
ventilation ducts and inspection hatches can be hidden with decor or furniture;
large loggias after glazing and insulation become an additional room that is convenient to use all year round (greenhouse, sports corner, dressing room, PC play area or workshop);
spacious bathrooms (sometimes 2) can be transformed at your own discretion by redistributing space for a shower, washing block and washbasins.

Options for transforming internal space

Three-room apartments are distinguished by load-bearing partitions that cannot be demolished.

Even if you do not make a radical redevelopment, there are several successful solutions to make the design of an apartment of the P-44 series more comfortable for living:

1.	Combining the kitchen with the living room	Do not demolish the wall, but do with a large arched opening with a bar counter half aisle
2.	Add a kitchen area to the loggia	Remove the door and window, make complete insulation and take out the dining table there (armchairs with a curbstone)
3.	Add sqm to bathroom	Cut off the free space of the corridors and “increase” the place for the typewriter in the bathroom
4.	Living rooms to lengthen	Take away square meters from the corridor for bedrooms to equip a wardrobe or dressing room

The bay window is a good place to experiment in the interior design of an apartment in the P 44 series, where there is a lot of natural light. There may be a writing desk, where students will learn their lessons, or a comfortable sofa for reading or working at a laptop..

The interior of the living room with a bay window can be arranged in different ways

It is better to arrange the rooms in the style that will suit all family members..

Living room

The designers propose to make the living room light, “tasty” shades, for example, a creamy background and chocolate linear contrasts, in order to exclude black color. In such an interior design, the P 44 will look good with a classic table set made of light wood or upholstered furniture with luxurious upholstery..

A small living room can be enlarged by removing the partition between the room and the corridor

Bedroom

The conjugal bedroom can be decorated in a romantic spirit. The choice of color depends on personal preference, but light lilac or pale blue usually suits both spouses. The choice of favor of modern style will be emphasized by floating ceilings, self-leveling floors.

Children

Children’s room – the second bedroom, the design of the P 44 T rooms makes it possible to “roam” with decorations and zoning. If there are two children – a bunk bed and modular cabinet furniture will save space for the play area. Do not forget about a place for a work area with numerous shelves and racks for toys and small items.

If the room is for two children, it should be twice as large.

It is better to place the writing table near the window.

Study

If the children have already grown up and left the cozy family “nest”, the additional room can be arranged based on the lifestyle of the parents. This can be a study with a library or a separate personal space of one of the spouses, for example, a workshop for a needlewoman’s wife. A large dressing room with a fitting room and a seating area for telephone conversations is a modern solution when there are a lot of things. A creative workshop or room to play music or paint in privacy, suitable for creative people.

The classic style is perfect for the design of the office.

A good choice would be solid furniture made from natural materials.

Kitchen

The kitchen can be classic, retro or country style, where a pleasant nostalgic atmosphere promotes the cooking process and the dining experience. But most experts offer modern design of P 44T apartments, for example, high-tech or loft. Use wallpaper or decor for the illusion of expanding space to add originality.

The size of the dining table depends on the number of eaters and the size of the kitchen

Hallway

The entrance hall is spacious enough to equip it with compact upholstered furniture, where it is pleasant to “land” when you change your shoes. Do not overload several squares at the front door and overload the perception with complex decor..

Light colors will visually expand the hallway space

Minimalism in any form (Scandinavian, Japanese or classic) is an excellent solution for the P44T design. Pay more attention to effective lighting, built-in furniture, quality finishing materials and mirrored walls. This will expand the space of the hallway and other rooms, modernizing the design of the apartment. More examples – in our gallery.
