The first thing that attracts attention in the living room is the unusual decor of the ceiling, which literally catches the eye. Why was such a clear emphasis on the ceiling?
SALON: In many of your projects you can see items from
- For a long time we could not grope, let's say, the main thread of the design. On the one hand, the man is young, energetic, but to whom, it would seem, modern architecture is not interesting. On the other hand, in the classics he is not comfortable. In any case, it should have been a respectable, representative, solid interior.

S: What constructive difficulties, besides high ceilings, have you encountered?
- In fact, high ceilings for a country house - this is more advantage than a disadvantage. Thanks to the large windows, the room receives more light, there is a feeling of spaciousness, scale. Another thing, when the proportions are not met, this really becomes a problem. Since we couldn’t practically change anything in the architecture of the house (at the time of our cooperation the construction was completed, and in fact the reconstruction was very delicate), we only had decorator ways out of the situation. So, we supplemented the fireplace with a four-meter mirror going upwards, thanks to which the design turned out to be quite solid and at the same time commensurate to the space. The same height allowed to organize the mezzanine, where they arranged the office. As for the rest of the premises, the dining room is a continuation of the living room and makes up a whole with it, it is simply solved on a combination of green and gold. In the design of private rooms, they settled on a more relaxed color scheme - light beige, peach shades. For the bedroom, we chose the color of salmon, it is not bright, and not so faded. The walls were covered with natural silk, a wool carpet was laid on the floor. It turned out cozy and at the same time strictly, like a man.
