An elite residential complex consisting of low-rise cottages is located in the city, in the territory of the Moscow Natural Park. Near the Moscow River and Rowing Canal. Here, in this village, and bought the house owners. Really convenient: it turns out that the house is both urban and country. That is, there is all the charm of country life, plus urban infrastructure. The idea of ​​the garden city (and here it is visible) was in great fashion in the first half of the twentieth century. She was paid tribute, for example, Le Corbusier and Ivan Leonidov. But we are now interested not in itself, but to the extent that it influenced the interior of the house in question. “The interior combines the features of a country house and city apartment,” says one of the authors of the project, the architect Yuri Filatov. - But this is not something that turned out unintentionally, no, this is the result of a quite conscious approach. And the owners set the task in this way: it was supposed to be a country house with a whole recreational floor, a pool and a roof garden. I wanted a feeling of space, openness, closeness to nature, but at the same time nothing suburban or rustic, but, on the contrary, that the interior was attended by strict elegance, urban chic.

Since the house is quite large - 630 square meters - and was originally designed for four families, creating a sense of space was not difficult. In the living area, which is located on the second floor, the authors of the project made an open space with an indispensable fireplace in the living room combined with a dining room. The kitchen, however, is not right there, but is separated from them by a hall, but there was no end in itself — a strict correspondence to classical patterns. On the contrary, it is rather an easy, elegant quotation. "We really didn’t set goals to match any style,” recalls Yuri Filatov. “To tell the truth, I never aspire to it at all.” We have created a comfortable style for this particular customer. So, to designate the theme of nature in the interior, we used some details, fragments, which, in fact, belong to organic architecture. For example, a relief mosaic on the wall of a dining room is streamlined, typically organic forms, resembling many things at once - plants, shells, and the underwater world ... "

The theme of nature is generally disclosed in this interior very carefully and indirectly. Sitting at the table in the kitchen and admiring the stained-glass window on the window, it is only after some time that you realize that the abstract lines of the stained-glass window, as it were, formed themselves ... into branches and trunks of trees. Or, for example, a fire in the fireplace. “The real fire is not artificial,” the architects emphasize, because for them this is an important point. As well as the fact that natural wood is used in the decoration of surfaces - wenge, zebrano ... And only in the pool on the first floor the share of nature is somewhat higher - above it there is a painting depicting the sky with a path from an airplane and horizontal lines of windows through which you can see surrounding nature.

In general, restraint and correctness are the distinctive features of this interior. Hence, a comfortable color palette, based on a combination of beige and dark brown, and a reasonable layout: the first floor is entertaining, the second residential. On the second floor, the living room and the dining room are solved as a single open space, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are separated ... Everything is done so that it is comfortable for everyone - for adults, children, and guests.

Yuri Filatov:“A house in the flood plain of the Moscow River is not the first object we have made for customers. I must say that working on a house is a rare case of mutual understanding between customers and architects, I think that it would be more appropriate to talk about joint work
