The concept of the design of this interior was formed quickly. Not even needed the initial sketches. It was enough for the designer to have several thorough conversations with the owner and to inspect the finished box to imagine what the house should be like. Work on the construction of the log house was just at the final stage, and it was possible to proceed to the interior decoration Usually, furniture is assigned, if not dominant, then surely equal to the role in creating the interior with architectural and decorative elements. In our case, this is not the case. Occupying an intermediate position between the architecture and the cubist sculpture pylons and protrusions, built-in shelves and niches, a priority in the formation of interior "intrigue". And because the design idea of ​​Gennady Isayev can be considered relevant and fashionable, because such a change of emphasis is characteristic of modern residential architecture as a whole. Not to say that furniture has become completely unimportant. Comfort is unthinkable without it. Stylish sofas and armchairs, carefully selected by the designer and customers, make it possible to sit and lie comfortably, and cabinets and slides make it rational to store things. But at the same time, if a few pieces of furniture in this interior are shuffled, interchanged or replaced, then the created image will not fundamentally change. After all, the main thing in it is not a thing, but a form, a game of chiaroscuro or color on rounded, pointed, stepped and other structures. Gypsum board, from which they are made, practically does not limit the designer's imagination due to its compliance and ease of shaping, and also does not inflict severe blows on the customer's budget. This happens not only because of the relative cheapness of the material, but also because it allows you to create a "new architecture" without a radical redevelopment, that is, without the collapse of the old walls and the erection of new ones. As a result, amazing metamorphosis takes place with the space: thanks to the complex stepped structure of the ceiling, floor, apertures and walls, it partitions, making it possible to move (if not physically, then visually) in any direction. The central object in the room now is not a table or a sofa, but a column, or, for example, the “lantern” of a multi-tiered ceiling. Thus, the established style (or artistic image) does not seem to be introduced from the outside and "superimposed" on the appearance of an existing box, but inherent in the house itself, growing from its design. Probably, it is difficult to find in this house a fragment of a composition that would not be lighted up with all the attention and thoroughness by the special lamp attached to it. On the lighting really did not stingy. They "lodge" both individually and in groups. Moreover, according to the architect, each group is managed independently. But this was not enough. Each constellation operates in more than six modes. It will not be easy for a person experienced in combinatorics to calculate how many lighting options the owners themselves can set by simply pressing a button. Moreover, the disembodied rays of halogen and ordinary lamps, not worse than any partition, can change the configuration of the space, highlighting any part of it and immersing everything else in the darkness. Such effects can be used in large rooms, for example, in the attic. It is solved as a single hall with an area of ​​about 90 m.². It is good here to gather with your family or friends in the evening, talk about life or watch a movie in the dark of a home cinema. At the same time, in another corner of the hall behind the wicker gaming table another company may gather - directional spotlights will fill this section of space with bright light. Speaking of the abundance of lighting, not to mention the living room. Garlands of lamps hang from the ceiling here, colorful wall lamps adorn the walls, paintings are provided with lighting, and the live fire of the fireplace complements this whole polyphony of light. A fun detail: the luxurious fireplace, lined with Gzhel tiles, was built before the design project was launched. This handsome man stood among the hempless logs of the log house as a kind of message from the "dark past" of the house to his bright, refined by exclusive design future.
