Why it is needed
Most residential buildings built into the era of total building at councils were equipped with miniature kitchens and bedrooms. The logic of designers is not entirely clear. Savings on the most popular premises in a residential apartment reached the absurdity. Especially considering the optional balconies, pantry, double living rooms. Probably party leaders thus wanted to wean people from traditional kitchen battles for political topics. Although it seems to us no less fantasy than Khrushchevka without passing rooms with thick walls.
Nevertheless, the owners of small-sized housing tried to visually expand the space, make it more comfortable for living. Under the "abbreviation", first of all, the non-functional massive mezzanine fell. This rudiment of builders of the Soviet past, which is amazing, still occurs in the projects of modern residential complexes.
