Архитектор Pavel Romanov родился в 1962 году в Подольске. В 1991 году закончил МАРХИ. Занимался частной практикой, руководил архитектурным бюро. В 1998 году вместе с Левоном Айрапетовым создал "Архитектурное бюро Левона Айрапетова и Павла Романова" и стал преподавателем (доцент МАРХИ). Действительный член Московского Архитектурного Общества. Лауреат российских и международных конкурсов, в том числе "Архитектурной премии-2003", награждён дипломом выставки "АрхМосква-2002" Pavel and Svetlana Romanov prefer to spend their weekends with their children at the cottage. On a spacious plot they built a great chopped house on two floors. The owners say that they wanted everything in it, from furniture to planning, to be first and foremost comfortable and functional. On the first and second floors, one above the other, there are two halls connected by a staircase. Lower - with windows in the wall - living room. Upper - with a cozy attic window - a small living room, a great place for confidential conversations over a cup of tea. Halls - the starting point, the main factor organizing the space of the house. On the first floor, the hall unites two functionally different blocks of rooms: first, the kitchen and dining room, and second, the guest rooms. On the second floor, it divides the private territories of children and parents. Older and younger Romanovs are active people. They host friends, travel by car, love sports. In his free time from meetings, travels, skis and tennis, Pavel ponders the details of the projects, Svetlana prepares for classes (she is a teacher), the children read, draw, make lessons. Therefore, in the dining room, they put a huge custom-made table (so that all friends could fit in), and in private rooms they provided not only a sleeping area, but also a cabinet area. Cabinet furniture bought handicraft, wooden, with naive, but such touching chiseled arches and columns. A willow box was woven by masters from a neighboring village. Chests, irons, samovar and other antiques in the country do not just "work with antiques", they all work: chests store things, irons can iron, samovar - boil tea. (Ensuring thus a high degree of credibility of the game in the village antiquity.) But however, no, not all. A huge ladle, manually carved from wood by an unknown craftsman, is leaned against the sideboard in the dining room. Scoop awesome. Too authentic. This puts him in a row of completely different objects, designer items, which do not advertise themselves, but noticeable. Let not too functional, but, no doubt, crafty and ironic.Back
