In this house live three generations of one large family. They live harmoniously and happily, refuting the conventional idea that a real independent life begins outside the parental nest To be honest, twenty-eight chairs at the dinner table are very impressive. And the table itself is also huge, made of polished mahogany, custom-made. Here are held dinners for family members and next of kin. Each has its own place in accordance with the family hierarchy. An interesting detail: the table is set in such a way that this is the first thing that a person sees through the open doors of the dining room. From the point of view of composition, when viewed from the entrance, it is exactly in the center. On the left and on the right are the flights of stairs, above is a massive crystal chandelier. This interior reception is as expressive and emotional as the friendly "where are you, we are waiting for you, rather come here!". As one of the authors of the project, architect Tatyana Mironova, says, the interior in this sense continues the main ideas of the exterior. The entrance is under a massive semicircle of a visor supported by columns. Above, above the visor, is a cylindrical drum. Due to the special plasticity of architectural forms, the feeling is created that the space literally draws the owners inside the house. And inside, a person sees the dining-living room behind the open doors, a small living room on the second floor and an exquisite third-floor balcony. All rooms are ajar, their psychological function is elegantly designated, which can be called the “friendly mood”. In addition, zones located on different floors have a purely utilitarian purpose: on the first floor there is a dining-living room, on the second floor there is a small living room and private apartments (bedrooms and bathrooms), on the third floor there are rooms for guests. What should be said separately is the staircase. She is not just an architectural element connecting the levels. She is a true symbol of unity, alpha and omega at home. It “sounds” as powerful as a symphony orchestra. In the smooth lines of the spans and railings it is guessed modern, in the ornament of the forged lattice - baroque, but all elements are stylized in the spirit of eclecticism. Thus, in the two unusual columns between the first and second levels, the classic Doric are read, but thanks to the characteristic oblique pilasters they fit perfectly into the interior, which develops the theme "eclecticism based on the classics." “The staircase is a special genre in architecture,” commented Valery Chugunov. “The architect who made it can do everything. But this one is, of course, special. Two narrow staircases decorated with a wrought-iron grid lead to the second floor. Then a playground and nine more grand steps leading to the small living room of the second floor. The same structure is maintained further. The smooth curves of the staircase, unusual columns, ceremonial chandeliers give the space a special significance. "Tatyana Mironova: "Several generations of the same family live in this house. It seems quite natural that a family with patriarchal foundations chose the classics. We turned to the beginning of the twentieth century, the modern and eclectic era.
