The Timeless Elegance of Arch(e)type's Art Concierge & Café in Moscow

　　Housed in one of Moscow’s most illustrious landmarks, LOBBY is the new home of an up-and-coming art consultancy designed as a cultural space complete with a concept store, events space and café. Architect Daria Belyakova, founder of Arch(e)type, an architectural and design practice with offices in Moscow, London and Paris, drew from the grandeur of the historic building to create a space of timeless elegance that both dazzles visitors and allows the periodic exhibitions of art and design to take centre stage.

　　Known as Gostiny Dvor, a Russian term for an indoor market or shopping centre, the expansive Neoclassical building is an 18th century reconstruction of an earlier medieval complex that now serves as a business and commercial hub after extensive renovations in the 1990s. Its prominent location a few steps away from Red Square, next to Zaryadye park, in conjunction with the façade’s double-height arched windows, means that LOBBY is blessed with gorgeous, verdant views peppered with steeples and towers of the nearby Varvarka church and Kremlin complex. The serendipity of such views informed Daria’s interior design which espouses an understated, soothing aesthetic of chic minimalism that enhances rather than detracts from both the views and the occasional art and design exhibits.

Swathed in a muted palette of whites and greys, the interiors feature white-smooth barrel vaults, flowing velvety curtains and upholstery, light-toned terraz
