Profitable house R.G. Vege was built on the corner section of Yekateringofsky Avenue (now Rimsky Korsakov) and Kryukov Canal in 1912-1914. His project was developed by Sergei Osipovich (Iosifovich) Ovsyannikov (1880-1937) - a recent graduate of the Academy of Arts (1909), a pupil of the workshop of Leonty Benois. This is his first independent work in the capital.
A luxurious house in the Admiralteisky district of St. Petersburg has been decorating this part of the city for more than a hundred years. It is beautiful both outside and inside.
The Vege apartment building is a real masterpiece of architecture and, perhaps, one of the most famous buildings in St. Petersburg. And this is not surprising, because it was built for the stars of the Mariinsky Theater, in which at that time Chaliapin worked and one of the apartments was intended for him.

MASTERPIECE CREATORS
NIKOLAI DRUZIN
Architect
MIRA APRAXINE
Decorator
Creative and family duet: Nikolai is an architect, originally from St. Petersburg; Mira is a decorator, from an old Russian family, born in Europe. For thirty years they have been working on the image of a modern Russian interior, built on the continuity and restraint of style. Sometimes it is created by the contrast of historical quotations in the modernist space. Sometimes a sharp, subtle modern detail in a classic composition. They advocate the absence of excessiveness: "luxury as an excessive list of amenities has outlived its usefulness."
IN SEARCH FOR LOST
IN SEARCH FOR LOST
The apartment, designed by the architect Nikolai Druzin and decorated by the princely decorator Mira Apraksina, is saturated with memories of the past. About home balls, dinner parties, family music-making and quiet evening solitaire. About impeccable manners and a special way of life, which still keeps in its memory Petersburg - a cosmopolitan city, a city-monument. Petersburg in general cannot be taken out of the brackets, because it is a certain level of taste, set for a long time and for a long time.
Nikolai and Mira, creating a new interior in the great city, did not even think to resist the historical reality, but on the contrary, they maximized the intonation of deja vu. Perhaps this was facilitated by the fact that the apartment had its own past - a house from the beginning of the century, built in the neo-Renaissance style, seems to still retain a decadent atmosphere within its walls. Either deliberately or intuitively, but the current owners of the apartment, business people, seemingly gravitating towards a modern interior, wanted to have a dance salon, which puzzled the architects.
The complexity of the compositional task was also in the fact that all the rooms of the suite became open and had to be perceived the same from different points - which can be done only very competently using subject and color accents. That is why there is no bacchanalia of color in the apartment, but there is a lot of sunlight - a rare, but so appreciated guest in St. Petersburg. With a general feeling of weight and stability of objects in the interior, everything is unobtrusive and therefore sounds light, like Chopin's waltz, so fashionable at the beginning of the century and still beloved by many.
