Big house, gazebos, paths ... Nearby - a forest. Everything is like a hundred years ago, but only at first glance: the house is built in accordance with the most modern ideas about functionality and aesthetics

The authors of the project have already done a number of objects for the customer and therefore knew his preferences perfectly. For example, they knew in advance that he should like an office in a style close to English - in warm burgundy colors, with solid leather furniture from dark wood, with soft carpets on the floor. It was assumed that he would prefer Italian crystal chandeliers to lamps in the English style. And that the space of the front room must be double-colored, with landscape paintings and stained-glass windows. So it turned out. In fact, it only remained to clarify the details. “We did not set ourselves the task of making the whole interior too“ smooth ”and homogeneous, recalls Elvira Kapustian. - On the contrary, I wanted to create something bright, special, festive. Therefore, we have definitely decided for ourselves the question of the purity of style: we are for a variety of classical styles; the main thing is for the details to form a harmonious overall picture. ”

The house has been planned quite traditionally: on the first floor - front rooms, on the second - private. In the palace, an elegant hall with a marble floor, mirrors in gold frames and furniture in the style of Louis leads to the living room. Here, in the open space, there are also a dining room, and a chimney with a library, and several cozy corners for rest. The arrangement of the sofas around the round table emphasizes the beauty of the architectural solution: a two-light space with a wall painting on the second floor gallery and a bright ceiling with a ceiling (it is made using stained glass technique according to the drawings Elvira Kapustyan). Solemnities are added to this space by rows of columns tinted with a special finish of a burgundy shade of gold, and complex moldings made according to historical patterns and skillfully aged, and type-setting parquet.

The owner works a lot at home, including conducting business meetings. Therefore, a prerequisite was the presence in the house of a separate "male" territory. They also decided to determine the sports part. To this end, a wing was attached to the house, in which a billiard room was placed, as well as a pool and sauna. The combination of entertainment and work areas in this case is justified: in fact, this is another, "male" living room, where you can discuss business issues at home.

Project author Elvira Kapustian: “This house, located in the outskirts of Stavropol, is not the first object we have made for our customer. During our joint work, we have already studied his preferences: this is a classic. We did not dwell on any one historical style, but tried to combine the most different styles within the same interior. ”
