The country house of Sergey Kozlovsky is located in one of the villages in New Riga. The entrepreneur says that he began building settlements in early 2000, after he built this house. “In my life, the business grew out of personal needs. In the early 90s, my brother and I decided to buy a car. (in 1992, the Kozlovsky brothers divided the business. Sergey headed the company INCOM-Real Estate, and Dmitry - INCOM-Auto. - SALON.). Then I wanted to exchange my apartment and became interested in real estate business. The construction was the same, "recalls the president of VILLAGIO ESTATE.

I ask half jokingly what other problems remain to be solved and, accordingly, what other areas of business Sergey Alexandrovich is going to deal with. “Now I’m completely focused on my core business. I wouldn’t undertake to raise a new one. And we must also take into account the fact that the threshold for entering the business is constantly increasing. now a serious business needs a big fortune. The market is formed, there are successful competitors in it. To enter the business, being a novice and without capital, is suicide, ”Kozlovsky unexpectedly seriously answers.

For the hero of our publication, this country house is a past stage of life. Now the president of VILLAGIO ESTATE is building a new one, which is being designed as a family estate. “The new house will be more than 1000 square meters, it will have spacious rooms, with a second light. It will be more beautiful, more functional and more spacious than this house,” Kozlovsky says with passion.

In general, it is impossible to build one house for all times, says the hero of our rubric. “The interior reflects the internal motivation of a person, his psychological programs. But over time, programs change. Sometimes you come to visit and see a complete discord, such as gold ceilings, purple sofas and red lamps. This means that the owner of the house has not yet formed an internal system. To find your style, you need to try to live in different interiors, "- says the president of VILLAGIO ESTATE.

Kozlovsky himself prefers the classics. "The essence of the classical style in harmony. For thousands of years mankind has been searching for harmonious combinations of various architectural elements, objects of different colors. If you look around, you will see that there is nothing flashy in the interior," Kozlovsky explains. ". The interior of the house was engaged in interior designer Marina Putilovskayawhich designed many metropolitan restaurants, including the White Sun of the Desert and the Palazzo Ducale. She proposed to design the interior spaces in beige-green tones, and make the interior itself classic, but with elements of country style.

Sitting in a cozy chair in the living room, Kozlovsky talks about the villages of VILLAGIO ESTATE. The last, and largest, project is the country village of Millennium Park at the 24th kilometer of Novorizhskoye highway. On the territory of this village, the company is going to make artificial rivers with a length of more than five kilometers. "We have a huge field, I want to create an interesting landscape on it. Of course, you can dig a pond with stagnant water. But is it interesting? And we will have a river with cascades, with flowing water. Several channels have already been launched, the technology is working. Such a project no one in Russia has done it, "the developer’s owner is proud of the results.

I wonder how VILLAGIO ESTATE solves the problem of landscaping. After all, it is no secret that the owners of houses built in an open field complain about woodland. Kozlovsky replies that now the company's specialists transplant trees up to eight meters high, but, of course, I want to replant larger specimens. “We need special equipment for this. We have already ordered it in America, we should get it soon,” says the president of VILLAGIO ESTATE.

Before doing business, Kozlovsky worked as an engineer at the Research Institute of Automatic Equipment, developing troop control systems for the Ministry of Defense. I ask if this experience was useful in business. “Of course, it was useful. I know how to structure the subject area, I can identify processes and formalize them. I could easily transfer this knowledge from the military sphere to the sphere of business management,” Kozlovsky argues.

It is felt that the president of VILLAGIO ESTATE lives in a clear, thoughtful rhythm. For example, the last seven years he has been practicing fitness three times a week. But it's not just fitness. “All my life I tried to be as efficient as possible in all areas. I understood that I needed to monitor health, develop personal characteristics, be sure to think about spiritual development, read books on philosophy and psychology,” Kozlovsky admits. need to expose the management process. Otherwise, you risk losing benchmarks. "
