The house has three floors: the first one is entirely representative, on the second are the private rooms of the spouses, on the third - the rooms of their adult son. If we look at the ground floor plan, we will see a symmetrical construction of the premises relative to the axis on which the hallway, hall and winter garden are strung. The hall is located in the center and as if gathers around itself other rooms of the first floor. However, the two-light space of the hall plays an important organizing role on the second floor. The staircase leads to the balustrade, and she, in turn, into the living room. Room blocks are located to the left and right of the living room: in the left wing there is the master bedroom and living room, on the right there is a bathroom and a dressing room. If you look at the plans of the first and second floors, you will see how the two-light hall space “works”, uniting the rooms of the house also vertically.

Nadezhda Chernigov I chose a cool light turquoise color for the hall walls. It goes well with white stucco and light gilding highlights. “Turquoise is rarely found in modern Russian interiors,” says the architect. “Maybe because it is cold, and we traditionally love warm colors. But with its help, you can create a feeling of freshness, air. Customers agreed with me that for the front space of the hall it fits perfectly. " With the help of the “airy” turquoise color, the architect managed to further emphasize the spectacular vertical of the hall, giving it palace elegance.

In the portfolio Hope Chernigov there are also almost monochrome objects, executed in shades of beige and cream colors (some of them were published at different times in the magazine SALON-interior). But she decided to make the rooms of this house multi-colored: the living room, for example, red and gold, the small living room - light green, the bedroom - in a combination of light green and cream colors. Note that in contrast to the "cold" hall, all these colors are warm. In addition, they are selected in such a way that they are finely combined with each other, and all this "multi-colored" is actually very harmonious. And these colors are perfectly combined with gilded details of furniture, chandeliers, mirrors and paintings.

Speaking of furniture. By and large, her role is unifying, since Nadezhda, as she says, chose her beloved as the leading style Louis XV. But this does not mean that she neglected other styles. The house has, for example, Baroque Italian consoles. In the dining room are Chippendale the chairs — they, like the armchairs of Louis, also hail from the 18th century, only from England. Or here in the office on the first floor there is a table - one of the few copies of the table of Queen Elizabeth, made by the royal furniture maker. If you come to visit, the owners will surely tell you the story of how the master asked for the highest permission to make several copies of the precious sample, received such permission and how one of the rarities found himself in this house ... they will tell you about the painting collection, things brought from travels , about the pleasant things in the interior. And at some point you will understand the owners: to live here is not just comfortable - to live here happily. Maybe this is the ultimate goal of private architecture?

Project author Nadezhda Chernigov: "I got this object, so to speak, at the box stage. One thousand square meters, three floors. I worked on the house for a year and a half. But this is the minimum time to create an interior with a sophisticated classic decor, many details of which were made by hand according to author sketches.

Customer opinion: "We met with Nadezhda Chernigova already quite a long time ago, we found it from publications in your journal. First, they chose between three architects, each of whom is a person with a name. I am grateful to God that we were not mistaken. This is an amazingly talented person with a rare sense of style. Unusually attentive, understanding the customer. Understanding is a special talent of Hope. The main thing that pleases us in our interior is that it is unusually pleasant and not boring to be here. The architect selected cool and transparent or, on the contrary, rich warm colors for each room, and worked very subtly and creatively with classical styles. Does it often happen that all family members are in a hurry after work or study home? And we have so. "
