The history of this house is unusual. For customers, it began with the acquisition of a plot of land in the cottage settlement of business class Opushkino, located in the Istrinsky district of the Moscow region. And for the architectural and design studio NefaProject and its leader Harold Mosolov - much earlier - from a clean field near Moscow, for which projects of typical cottages, an entrance group and a restaurant were to be developed.

Work on this house was a fascinating task, because the customers chose the site with the steepest terrain in the village: the height difference reached four meters. “The more complex the task, the more interesting it is to solve it, - the author of the project believes Harold Mosolov. “We didn’t want to flatten the relief, but, on the contrary, we wanted to use its capabilities to the maximum.” Because of the height difference in the house, there are five levels, on which a two-light living room, a kitchen-dining room, four bedrooms and platforms on the exploited roofs are located.

Haroldу Мосолову another difficult task was to be solved - to design a gazebo in front of the house, which would not obstruct the facade of the building and would not be visible from the street and neighboring areas. “The original decision prompted the natural slope of the house to the side of the street,” says Harold. “We used it - we covered the lowest part of the plot with a canopy on which the lawn grows.”

The architect is sure: to work on the interior of the house that he designed himself is much more interesting. The original architecture, namely the volumes of the building offset by half of the floor, set an unusual internal space. The color scheme of the interior is calm. It is solved in warm gray and sand and beige shades. "We wanted to achieve the feeling of a light interior, which would not tire the eyes and did not distract attention from the beautiful nature outside Moscow outside the windows," notes Harold Mosolov.

The brightest room is a two-light living room with three large windows (from floor to ceiling). The most spectacular element here was the fireplace, made to order. “The main idea in the design of the fireplace was an unusual form of the portal,” says Harold. “Bleached oak panels rise in the form of steps up the wall, become a fragment of the ceiling from which the lamps hang, and return down the opposite wall, turning into a shelf above the TV.” The sofa and armchairs were positioned so that you could admire the fire or watch TV mounted on the wall opposite the fireplace. The interior does not seem monotonous due to the combination of different textures - a beautiful structure of bleached oak and embossed wall covering, frosted glass lamps and shiny leather upholstery of furniture.

Project author Harold Mosolov: “While working on the interior of this house, I, of course, tried to create an author’s design, but at the same time I didn’t want to be a dictator at all. Fortunately, the customers were people with whom our views coincided, and almost all decisions were made instantly. The interior in this house is not an artistic declaration, but a space in which its inhabitants are well. And if the guests tell the owners that they have excellent taste, it will be much nicer than if they notice that the original designer has worked on the interior. ”
