Old mansion in Trubnikovsky lane - a small cozy house: four floors, six apartments. The apartment we publish is an example of a successful coincidence of the contexts of the interior and the environment. Maybe it happened because the reconstruction of the mansion and the design of apartments on the third floor was done by Boris Tsyrlin, the author of the project and the head of the Portal company. “For me the historical context is really important,” says Boris, “but also, if I may say so, the context is mental. The windows of this apartment overlook the square, the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior. This is the very Moscow courtyard that Polenov once wrote ( he had a studio in the next house. ”Spaso House, the residence of the American ambassador, is clearly visible from the balcony. The magnificent mansion belonged to the famous industrialist and millionaire N. Vtorov before the revolution. Vtorov served for me a starting point. I was important to embody a lifestyle very wealthy man, and do not follow the letter of a certain historical style. " It is like a riddle: to what person can these antique columns, gold strokes on stucco friezes, a baroque nadkamynnoe mirror? cupids and flower garlands on the ceiling? upholstered furniture, covered with silk? As it turned out, the owner of the apartment is a young woman who adores art and devotes her free time to writing is a fashionable thing today. She buys the paintings of the artists of the school Veronese and arranges receptions for a narrow circle of friends ... The author has created for her a representative, but at the same time rather poetic chamber interior. The front hall opens into the living room. Opposite the entrance is a French-style stained-glass window, through which you can exit to balcony, тот самый, откуда отлично виден газон Спасо-хауса, сквер, храм. Окно на balcony - это смысловой центр композиции. Слева от него располагаются спальная комната, ванная, кабинет; справа - гостиная, столовая, кухня. Кабинет территориально примыкает к приватной зоне, но в то же время выходит в гостиную; рукопись неоконченного романа на столе - красивая деталь. Хозяйка дома говорит, что здесь хорошо пишется. А как иначе? По здешним переулкам когда-то ходили Пушкин и Бунин. Положение обязывает.Boris Tsyrlin: "When you create an interior in a historic style, it is important to make it authentic. And it’s not just antique furniture, successful remakes or details. I’d venture to suggest that the foundation is the place, the house where this apartment is located. what you need. "
