Such an object is rare even for St. Petersburg with its numerous rivers and canals. Own extensive area on the banks of the Neva and the view from the windows attached to it is the inheritance of the elect. And the mansion itself is unique in its own way. This outhouse, attached to a multi-storey building at the beginning of the twentieth century, was the personal housing of a civil engineer Lemmerich. Time did not spare the building, which, however, did not prevent the State Commission for the Protection of Monuments to impose a number of restrictions on its reconstruction. In particular, the object of protection was the facade of the building. And despite the fact that his artistic merit was very controversial, the historical details were carefully restored. "The original façade was distinguished by the mediocre drawing of details in which a slight hint of northern modernism was guessed," says Владислав Валовень. But even despite such comments, the facade today is pleasing to the eye. Inside the mansion is divided into two apartments. Moreover, the technical premises of the basement and the winter garden in the attic are a common area. For the rest, these are two autonomous residential spaces. The apartment in question occupies a large area, since it partially “penetrates” into the territory of a multi-storey building. The rooms on the ground floor, with the exception of the hall and the bedroom, are lined up one after another on the principle of an enfilade. The authors of the project did not strive for their stylistic uniformity. On the contrary, the interior of each room is unique. Passing from the entrance area to the office, as if making a trip in time and space. "Speaking about the interior style, the customer insisted on a collective image, stylization. He did not want decorative excesses, and describing his future home, he invariably resorted to the concepts of cozy, beautiful, representatively," Andrey Kurochkin. This wish has been fully implemented. Immediately from the hall, the guest enters the kitchen-dining room, combined with the living room. From the first steps it envelops the aesthetics of Provence. The color of the wooden beams on the ceiling echoes the decoration of a good "rustic" kitchen. A fireplace with a massive chimney resembles the hearth of a traditional house in Provence. The recliners are covered with a light fabric with a floral rapport, and there are cozy printed linen covers on the chairs. A completely different picture in the next room - the cinema. The aesthetics of the 1960s dominated here: pop art, kitsch, fabrics for zebra, upholstery for Dalmatians. The wooden paneling of the wall, turning into a podium, makes the interior look like the cabin of an expensive yacht. From here you can go to the office, furnished with classic furniture. The walls and ceiling are covered with tapestry, which makes the interior cozy and at the same time respectable. And we will add the definition of “stylish”, because behind the virtuoso stylization there is a high style here.
