Mini Castle with Pool

The house of 200.7 m2 in the spirit of traditional buildings of Provence on the overgrown with the old forest plot in the Moscow region is not at all similar to the usual cottage.

For artificial lighting of the pool, built-in lamps, mounted in the beam cladding

The floor and walls of the pool are lined with blue, white and golden yellow mosaic. A lightweight pattern in the shape of a wave is repeated above the windows and in water

The living room next to the pool is setting in the spirit of retro. Virived from elegant buffets mounted mini-washing, which is very convenient for small meals, because the kitchen is on the second floor

In the shower, curvilinear partitions, in terms of reminding the expanded flower bud, as well as part of the floor are covered with mosaic of sandy and pink shades

In the decoration of the shower, it is interesting to combine materials with various textures: fine mosaic on the walls, natural pebbles and tiles in the floor finish

The Turkish bath and sauna are located next to the soul. The decoration of walls and gender in this zone emphasizes the unity of all three premises. Aged tile and sconium, resembling a torch, give the interior historical flavor

The vertical pattern of wallpaper visually increases the height of the ceiling. Its complex shape with large differences of heights had to take into account when determining the location of doorways and placement of furniture

A small segment of the floor next to the work facades is tiled, the priority in the kitchen-living room is given by a natural tree. High drawing cap matches spirit retro

Furniture, curtains, bedspreads, decorated with floral pattern, create a French country atmosphere in the bedroom

The bottom and winding shores of the artificial stream are lined with stone tiles on cement mortar. The shores of this reservoir are attached by grassy plants

Floor plan

Plan of the second floor

The ensemble of a miniature manor, whose heart became a cozy house in the spirit of the traditional buildings of Provence, appeared on the overgrown with the old forest in the suburbs. He turned out unusual, bright, a little fabulous and very unlike the familiar cottage.

The inhabitants of this house in the summer village appreciate the traditional approach in architecture and design. Compact, strict shapes, stone trim, high fireplace pipe over a row roof make a building similar to the classic building of Provence. The plot is growing many old trees, pines, fir trees and birches. They give him a special charm, and on hot days they please the shadow and cool.

At the design stage, the owners set the condition: "No tree on the site should be injured due to construction." Architects fully fulfilled it. I had to carefully choose a place to build. The need to "enter" it between the trees determined the difficult configuration in the plan.

Development concept

The house consists of two parts: a two-story, where there are a bath, sauna, technical room and residential rooms in the attic, and one-story, adjacent to it at an angle of about 30, - the pool is located here.

An interesting feature of the building is that all its functionally different components have separate inputs. Two next door from the main facade are conducted in the premises of the first floor of the two-story wing. Through one of them, you can get into the zone of water procedures, through the other - in the technical room. The garden has independent entrances and to the pool, and on the second (residential) floor - a two-hours-haired staircase with forged railings rises.

From the foundation to the roof

The framing of the house windows is made of the same decorative facing stone as the walls of the walls. The staircase and the porch at the entrance to the one-story wing with the pool decorate the elegant forged railing with a vegetable pattern due to the high level of groundwater on the site under the house the drainage system was arranged. Each part of the house has its foundation. Under the two-storey-belt monolithic with a depth of 1.5 m. For an extension with a swimming pool at a depth of 2.2 m, a reinforced concrete plate was made, on which the belt foundation and the bowl of the overflow basin were erected.

The walls of the two-storey wing of the building with a thickness of 580mm are composed of bricks with insulation in the middle. One-story part where the pool is located from the monolithic reinforced concrete. Its walls with a thickness of 150mm are insulated with Rockwool plates (Russia) and plastered. This is due to the fact that the premises of the zone of water procedures must correspond to a more complex technological mode of operation. Outside the walls of the house and the pool are separated by a decorative facing stone of various shades of gray. The masonry is irregular, the surface of the stone rough, thanks to this, the buildings look very picturesque.

Facades of the house are solved in different ways. On the part of the main entrance, he looks very restrained, fit into the overall concept of "ancient estate": the walls cut through small windows, the facing complement 30 elegant ceramic tiles with a relief pattern made to order according to old samples.

The opposite facade of the building "revealed" to meet nature. A large window of the recreation room and four attic windows on the second floor, as well as high, occupying almost the entire wall of the pool window (his single-table roof is not randomly raised in the direction of the garden) make the nature of the house more open and friendly.

The roof has a different design of the two wings of the building. Over the two-storey part it is a bartal rafter, with a significant slope. Roofing "Pie" consists of consistently laid layers of vapor barrier, mineral wool insulation Paroc (Finland), Yutakon anti-condensate film (Juta, Czech Republic) and crates. Over the pool, the roof is single-sided on metal beams, with a small angle of inclination; Roofing "Pie" is the same. The grayish green color of the roof of the Rannila metal tile (Finland) is harmonized with wall decoration and surrounding landscape. Over the entrance doors and platforms to protect them from bad weather instead of visors, wider lines of roofs are made, giving home a certain impressiveness.

Technical "Stuffing"

In the technical room next to the pool placed the receiving tank, the filtration system, the heat exchanger is the water treatment station in the building installed water heating radiators. Since the hidden water pipeline with cold water (as well as the main gas) was subordinate to the village, for heating the water in the house serves a two-round gas boiler, and in the pool-uninocouple Buderus (Germany), standing in the boiler room on the first floor. The floors in the lobby, bathroom, shower, bath and sauna are equipped with electric heating. Under the windows in the pool, heating radiators are installed, so the glass does not fade. A warm floor is mounted around the perimeter of the pool bowl. Electrical systems that support the specified thermal mode are adjusted by the control panel in the boiler room. Disconnection shield is located at the door to the sauna and Turkish bath.

You can go to the technical room where the receiving tank is placed, filter, heater, pump, water ozonation system and control unit. The floor here is bueled because the equipment for the water purification of the pool should be placed on the same level with its bowl. Ventilation in the residential part of the house is natural, in the pool and "wet" zone-forced. Sewage taps are laid in the depth of the site, where septic tank and filtration trenches are located.

Man-made delights

The strict fitting of the bathroom decorate elegant details: a relief curb on the walls, a ceramic medallion over the line, the curtain on the bronze cornion interiors of the house fully corresponds to its appearance. The authors of this project always carefully relate to each nuance of the finish. The front-floor entrance door leads to the Hall, decorated in an old-style, and from there, in the showers, Turkish bath, sauna, a small guest bathroom and a relaxing room that connects these rooms with a swimming pool. As if in accordance with the traditions of antiquity, when the terms (baths) were decorated with a smalt, the overflow pool and the Turkish bath generously was separated by mosaic. The upper part of the walls, sides and bottom of the pool - blue; Bench, walls and floor bath - golden brown.

The pool room is very bright thanks to numerous windows, including the attic. Sizes Bowls - 6.92.8m. The maximum ceiling height over it is 4.1m, falling to the edges to 2.5m. Carriers metal beams outside are completely trimmed with wood. Under the trim, the wiring of built-in halogen luminaires in brass corps under ancient, specially intended for rooms with high humidity, is hidden. In addition, the backlight is mounted and in the walls of the bowl.

Registration of interiors of the premises of the second floor, aged in the spirit of the old Provence, continues the "historical" topic of facades. The floors in the rooms are covered with a parquet board, and in a bathroom-made tiles. Furniture are traditional, with accessories under the old days. Many objects of the situation look as if they were inherited; Chandeliers and man-made are especially highlighted, with hand painted bedroom headset. The inclined location of the windows excluded the use of ordinary curtains, so long curtains made of natural flax fastened with special cornices over window openings and under them.

The height of the ceiling heights in the attic is 2.3 m (from 1.2 to 3.5m under the skate), as in the old mansion in the south of France. It influenced the planning and organization of space: I had to take into account the large slope of the external walls that reduce the free movement zone. Therefore, there are only three rooms in the attic, but each has a significant area. A small entrance tambour with a wardrobe precedes a spacious living room with which you can go to the bedroom and bathroom.

Manor landscape

Economic building in the corner of the site looks almost like a castle. She is finished with the same stone as the house, but the base and niche - "windows" are lined with darker tiles. Successfully found image of the house suggested to architects the next step: the "old castle" with turrets appeared nearby. The th one turned ... an old wooden shed, which was separated from the outside the same decorative stone. Another turret, topped with a high copper roof, is designed for a barbecue. The winding paths paved with granite blocking are laid in so as to slowly walk along them and admire landscaped compositions in a variety of angles. You can relax, cropped on a wrought bench. In the evening, the garden highlights wrought lanterns. Not far from the "Castle" arranged two fountains, lined with Smalthy Park in the style of Guells, Antonio Gaudi. The center of one of which is a ceramic ball from which an artificial stream flows and, pressing, flows under an elegant bridge. The other, standing in front of the front entrance to the house, is made in the form of a lotus flower with a metal leaves in a bowl lined with a bright mosaic.

The dendrologists invited by architectors took care that every week the garden was updated, changing colors and shades, from spring to late autumn. So the owners received not only a comfortable holiday home, but also a unique, "fabulous" microworld, continuing and developing the image of their dwellings.
