Главный редактор журнала SALON-interior Oksana Kashenko встретилась с Александром Львовским, директором московского представительства BREATH, and with Olga Lileeva, co-owner of the unusual restaurant "Pier"

The road from Moscow to the restaurant "Pier" by car takes 4-6 hours (about 400 kilometers). There is another option - by train to Rybinsk, and from there already by car about ten kilometers to the Demino Sports and Recreation Center. Even before Rybinsk can be reached by plane - it flies once a week. The most convenient is by helicopter, but not everyone has this type of personal transport, and there are incidents with the weather. With all this, in the season here is a full house. Olga Lileyeva, Pristani co-owner, says: “In summer, places need to be booked here in a few months. It’s in the restaurant, not to mention the cabins. From May to September it’s almost impossible to get here.

Honestly, in the offseason here, too, not bad. On the vast territory (now the Demino complex occupies 30 hectares) there are several cottages, rollerdrome, courts, a real mushroom forest and the same “Pier”.

Standing on the bend of the Volga, on a beautiful high bank, this huge wooden house is visible from afar. And for good reason: The Pier is the largest wooden structure in Europe made by a Finnish company. BREATH. Alexander Lvovsky, Director of the Moscow office BREATH and the main ideological inspirer of the company, says that he wanted to do something non-trivial. “Of course, first of all we needed to design a restaurant that would correspond to the spirit of the place itself,” Alexander says. “Athletes come here, skiers, professionals and amateurs train here in winter and summer. Demino is a strategic place. And here “In the Yaroslavl region, from where many famous athletes came out, they decided to build a ski complex. And, of course, a restaurant - you need to eat somewhere." Company Architects BREATH reacted to the task with almost youthful maximalism. “Our specialists designed a beautiful architecture building that fits perfectly with the relief. And Mark Patlis and his team breathed life into the restaurant’s interiors,” says Alexander Lvovsky. “I’m deeply convinced that you can build a restaurant, but if there is no atmosphere, then the price is worthless any restaurant. "Pristan" was lucky: everyone worked perfectly here - the customer, and we, the architects and builders BREATH, and decorator atelier Mark Patlis. Therefore, there is such a good atmosphere here. ”Sitting near the huge windows of the restaurant and through the glass admiring the majestic landscape, you stop noticing time and relax surprisingly quickly. An unobtrusive and truthful design plays a significant role in this: a whitewashed tree of walls, dark floorboards, comfortable leather sofas ... Now about the "Pier" tell the legend that it was supposedly built almost a hundred years ago. Because you know the truth, the sensations do not change, but only increase, you begin to pay attention to almost every thing about In the corner, to the left of the entrance, there is a powerful antique writing desk - the governor himself can work for this. , a billiard room and a smoking room. The restaurant is zoned simply and convincingly. Alexander Lvovsky is proud of the professionalism in his company BREATH относятся к дизайну интерьеров: "Вас удивит, но мы не ставим своей целью популяризацию наших интерьерных достижений, хотя, на мой взгляд, они намного впереди наших архитектурных побед. К сожалению, на сегодняшний день мы заложники своего имени. Сейчас "хонкой" называют практически все деревянные дома. А на самом деле настоящие объекты BREATH наперечет, и все они авторские. У нас нет цели построить дом и на этом расстаться с заказчиком. Нам интересно создавать объект целиком - от проекта до вилок и ложек… Чтобы так работать, конечно, приходится очень тесно общаться с клиентом, знакомиться с его семейными традициями, привычками и требованиями. Я рад тому, что мы можем реализовывать подобные задачи. Причем расстояния здесь не играют никакой роли. Наше архитектурное бюро молодо, но уже есть несколько домов, которые мы сделали самостоятельно от и до. В Сочи, в Новокузнецке, в Петропавловске-Камчатском. Сейчас мы строим корпоративную гостиницу в Сургуте, добраться туда можно будет только на вертолете. Мы построили дом одному из наших министров. Получилась красивая стилизация под восточный интерьер, нашим специалистам пришлось даже ездить в Китай... Мы создаем не просто дома, а уникальные семейные истории, некий образ жизни в содружестве с природой".

This year in the complex "Demino" passed one of the stages of the World Cup in skiing. On January 15, there was no snow at all. Temperature is above zero. “We had to create a ski track from crushed ice from a quarry, and then pour artificial snow on top. On the day of the competition it rained in the morning, and we covered the track with black film so that the snow would not melt. "There were about 25,000 people at that time. The restaurant took 200 people almost every hour. We are going to hold another cup stage on December 15. And now the most important thing for us is to set the subzero temperature. Then, with our equipment, problems with snow on the tracks will not be". Skiers will compete, guests will empathize and enjoy nature, and then everyone will go to celebrate achievements in the Pier. And every day there will be a holiday. And then the New Year. Skating rink, stars, pines, music, champagne ... And no fuss. Get some rest!
