The classic style for the mansion near Moscow was chosen by its owners, a young married couple. They were inspired by one of the previous projects of the Project-E bureau in the spirit of the French classics.

“Use the classical principles of building space, even in modern interiors. In this project we decided to follow the neoclassical path. They combined strict axial structure, classical decorative techniques and modern understanding of convenience and comfort, ”says project author Ekaterina Grigorieva.

The dining room, kitchen and Moroccan room on the first floor are built in series and form a line of enfilade. A spacious hall from the main staircase separates the portal with columns and pilasters, and the walls are decorated with hand-painted with floral motifs. For the decoration of the walls in the public area they preferred monochrome painting: white for the living room, light blue for the dining room and warm colors for the kitchen.
