Two-storey house of 393 m2 on the climbing sandy shore of the lake in the Leningrad region.
Peter the Great loved Holland and learned a lot from this hardworking people. And where, as not under the glorious city of St. Petersburg, it was destined, after a century, a piece of old Holland appear is this half-timbered home?
This house is similar to a strong generic nest, which made one generation of the family. It was built well and thoroughly, as was customary in the old days. But, before going to the eyes of the owners in the present attractive form, the building overcame a series of exhausting amendments and improvements. The architect Igor Firsov had to mobilize all his skills and patience to keep in immunity initially selected style. Style, or rather, the stylization under medieval half-timbered buildings was the roads Igor Firsovo as an artist, and he did not gentle the efforts so that the echoes of the old Western European architecture would appear on Karelian land.
The plot is located in a pine forest, on the climbing sandy shore of the lake, which provided the ease of construction to the Leningrad region. After all, dry sand creates perfect natural drainage. The basement of the foundation was chosen the monolithic design of the deep downtit. A good soil made it possible to save on additional waterproofing work and arrange a deep spacious basement, where they placed the boiler-boiler, as well as the relaxation zone (sauna, swimming pool and gym, relaxation room). Such a basement house has four main levels, although its structure is somewhat more complicated. The floor of the garage attached to the ground level is at ground level, which is lower than the floor level of the first floor to the height of the base. The room, located above the garage, also forms an additional intermediate level, which is already back to the second floor. The third floor is a small attic located in the central part of the building.
This complex structure is entirely "working" on the selected style. The architect managed to create a sense of construction, "stretched in time", which is very characteristic of medieval homes. The building could be worthwhile for decades, flowing terraces, canopies and other elements. Of course, they sometimes turned out to be at different levels, so the presence of a set of non-elevation in the height of the floors connected by stairs is also a stylistic feature of the Middle Ages. For example, the lateral parts of the building are very believable "depict" an extensions, which was not originally. The same feeling is created by the lantern and the erker on the back of the house. Igor Firsov also simulated a later extension of the third floor, creating the illusion of the imposition of one roof layer on another.
The house is absolutely unique on the exterior decoration. Connect on the walls a motley facing brick, limestone, tree and plaster and do not fall in the same time in the kich quite difficult. In the case, the heterogeneous decoration of structures isolated from aerated concrete, it looks completely natural, being a continuation of the same topics of architecture of old Holland and Germany. Different materials are well combined in color and texture - even a white masonry solution contrasting with facing bricks is appropriate. It should be said about the brick. This is a little common beige-brown grade "Running Flame" with a smooth transition of the same color to another. When looking out, a complete impression of the natural darkening of an ancient masonry is created.
The base, some window openings and corners of the building are decorated with textured limestone (gray concrete paving slave, which paved the path and playground in front of the house, choses him in the tone). Plaster begins, for the most part, at the level of the second floor. The right side of the house, which symbolically depicts the late extension, plastered completely.
The half-timber on the walls, although it carries solely decorative load, externally fully corresponds to the logic of carrying structures. Curved beams rarely, but met in European architecture, they were made from rhizomes of trees. The protrusions that simulate the ends of the transverse beams are not forgotten, which indicates a serious knowledge of the history of gradious construction. The slant pattern is combined by the railing of the balcony and the porch, as well as a decorative lattice, enclosing the descent to the basement (it is clearly prepared in order to become the basis for living hedges).
It is interesting to the visor over the "Garden" entrance and a small terrace. It is partially covered with tiles, and partially made of polycarbonate. Transparent canopy protects the terrace from rain and snow, leaving it light. Polycarbonate is quite durable material capable of withstanding a large snow load. The combination of such unlike the textures does not violate the stylistic unity of the building. Wooden frame of transparent canopy painted in the color of the front beam.
The roof is lined with red cement-sand tiles, externally very resembling ceramic. This material is though easier than clay, but still pretty heavy and requires powerful rafters. Bright red tiles of dominant, the effect of which is neutralized by the color of the site in front of the house. Here the red gradually fades, mixing with gray and turning into pink pavement tiles in the ornament. The same complex forms and attic windows violate the monolithic roof and do not allow it to visually "put pressure" on the facade.

Working on the planning of the house, customers and architect decided to abandon the fashionable "uninterrupted" solution of the first floor space. In the case, all the premises have traditional functional division and clear boundaries. Passing the tambour, Guest enters the spacious double hall with a staircase to other floors, the doors in the bathroom and the kitchen and open opening room, which serves through all the rooms of the first floor. This passage zone is reported to a living room, a kitchen-dining room, a guest room of the first floor, as well as an outdoor terrace.
The double hall, the main dominant of which is inscribed in the plan in the oval staircase, is lit from the facade with a large vertical window and enclosed into the roof of the roof of the damn window Velux. From here the stairs can be climbed to the upper levels. On the intermediate platform between the first and second floor there is a door to the bedroom of a daughter-attorney over the garage. The complex form of the ceiling in it is a reflection of the design of the roof. The architect not only did not hide this feature, but also made a decorative element, "hiking" the whole relief with the help of decorative beams.
Another march is upstairs and we find yourself on the Gallery of the Second Floor. Thanks to the spacious light hall, it does not seem narrow, although in reality its width does not exceed 1 m. Sallery can get into the bedroom of the owners, a rather large son of his son, a guest room and shower. The parent bedroom is equipped with a private bathroom and a dressing room, as well as access to a picturesque hexagonal balcony. His unusual form dictates the first floor erker.
There is a staircase on the third, attic floor between the boy's room and the parent bedroom (it is not visible from the main staircase). It is located in the central, the highest part of the house. When you rise here, the path illuminates the roofing window.
The attic occupies the entire Cabinet. Its embossed ceiling will be emphasized with dark wooden beams, which are partially details of the rafter design, partially decorative ornament like the step on the outer walls.
The architectural projects of buildings created by Igor's company are obviously suggesting certain draft decisions. The designer accepting the object after the architect does not have to break his head, inventing some new stylistics. It remains only to develop ideas already embedded in a volume decision. So it happened this time. Designer Oksana Karemina continued the idea of an old European home and decorated the ceilings of almost all the premises "pattern" from decorative beams. In the second and third floors, they supplemented the real beams rafters, on the first it is pure artistic creativity. The ceiling of the living room echoes the intricate half-timber outside the building. The dining room stylization under the village house is noticeable even stronger: a few "darkened from time" beams are underlined asymmetrically, as if someone many years ago, he won the sawing roof. On this, however, Dutch motifs in the interior end. The living room is an eclectic combination of styles: the beam ceiling is adjacent to modern stained glass windows and chandeliers, antique furniture in classicism style, family relics and a modern leather sofa. Sickie podium and local lighting emphasize the withdrawal of an antique corner.
Kitchen-dining room - a spacious room with an erker, formally distinguished by a bar counter and changing the floor finish. In the kitchen, the floor is tiled, in a dining room - parquet (this is not so much aesthetic as hygienic norm). The dining room is located in a bright erker leaving the garden. Already, this location involves the corresponding design. White oval table with chairs in the style of bidermeyer, white translucent curtains with touching bows and white, imitating floral buds, lamps - what can be better for a country breakfast in sunny morning?
The most abundantly decorated place in the house is the main staircase with a manually painted by a border on the walls and decorations of the railing in the form of a stylized lotus. Tactical styles mixing personify an ancient classic comedian, standing at the staircane threshold, and a round insert from a multicolored tile, which is blocked on the floor. The original composition under the legs attracts attention not only to the unusual combination of materials, but also the complexity of execution. Tile and parquet dies have different thickness. So, for the perfectly smooth docking, it was necessary to carefully unstelling every centimeter of the cement screed. The ornament of tiled insert resembles the courtyards of Italian and Czech cities.
The customers were a great influence on the formation of the interior, the task of the designer was reduced to the harmonization of their ideas about the comfort with specified planning conditions. So, the dining room, the bedroom of the owners and the daughter's room, being a de facto as a wonderful half of the family, carry a fingerprint of a purely female taste. Pastel colors are dominated here (the dining room is white with a gentle-green, a bedroom daughter-white with pink and cyclamen, master bedroom, cream and purple). Girls turned out defiantly glamorous: rosets on translucent curtains with dragonflies, bows on curtains with rosas, pink awnings, sofa and empty in rose, romantic white bed with an openwork backrest, etc. However, if you think about, the best solution for the room is such a complex form not to find . The relief ceiling did not allow no high massive furniture or an overloaded decor. Unobtrusive flowers, light furniture and transparent fabrics visually "facilitate" room.
In the room of the son of the ceilings noticeably above. This made it possible to use massive built-in dark color furniture. The relief of the ceiling beaten by contrasting beams painted into the tone of the furniture, the space between which is partially stitched by the clapboard, partially plastered.
The bedroom, equipped with a private bathroom and a dressing room, is most comfortable. The interior is resolved in a soft "bourgeois" manner: fluffy carpet, intricate wallpaper pattern, romantic drapery, classic lamps, etc.
Cabinet-attic, oddly enough, turned out to be the most "designer" room at home. This "additional" space provided the owners and designer with ample opportunities for the realization of the most intimate fantasies. Braided table, emotional stuffing, wrought bench- All this is not too functional, but very beautiful. The agencies intended for relaxation and creativity, you can afford it. On the protrusions of the walls that hide the air ducts, the sections of artificially aged brick are left. The wall of the "Hallway" with the original relief is nothing more than an attempt to beat the ventilation system. The resulting shelves are gradually filled with souvenirs attributed to the hosts from travel.
Opposite the house on the site there is a bath - a two-story building from hand-held logs. Inside there are Russian steam room, shower and three rooms, two of which can be safely used as guest bedrooms.
Landscape design deserves a separate conversation. The site does not impress the overloaded, but a lot of things fit on it: a magnificent pool, a garden with an alpine slide and a mini-waterfall, a witty decorated garden, small decorative objects like a ceramic mall-flower beds. There is a place for lawns. The hostess wanted to have a garden, but the traditional solution of the beds would contradict the "English" lawn, the pool and a hill. Landscape designer Lyudmila Vasenko found a wonderful way out: beds with cucumbers and tomatoes are decorated like flower beds placed in wicker baskets. There is even an open "suitcase", from which the cucumber shoulder shoulder.
The described object is remarkable in a comprehensive solution of architecture, interior and landscape. Although the architect and designers- in the interior and landscape - in this case, almost with each other did not communicate, each of them managed to catch and continue the idea given by the predecessor. The house was surprisingly harmonious. It is unlikely that in the next hundred years someone will have an idea to rebuild him.
