With the onset of warm weather, we try to spend any free day at the cottage, says Peter Yushin- after a busy everyday life here is well rested. We recently completed the construction of a new house ... "

The main task for the architects was to organically fit the building into the surrounding landscape. The house should be a single whole with nature, and therefore, nothing screaming, knocking out. Low, flattened on the ground, with smooth slopes of roofs, with dark gray - graphite shade - facades, the house looks strictly and thoroughly. The outer frame - a green carpet of short-cropped lawn, comfortable chairs on the lawn near the house, pergolas entwined with grapes, wide open shutters - softens the rigidity of architecture, gives the building a homely and cozy look. For architects, it was important that the house was not very tall, did not create shadow areas for neighbors. So, because of the wide planes of the pitched roof, the second floor is almost imperceptible. Due to the smooth rise of the relief and the podium system, the cypriot basement is veiled: it seems that the house grows into the ground. L-shaped the configuration of the structure allowed us to create a patio closed from prying eyes, and the windows to the floor added inner space of light and air. The features of the layout include the enfilade principle of organizing space on the ground floor (the living room smoothly flows into the study) and the fact that the dining room is not equipped in the house, but outside, on a covered terrace located next to the kitchen. For the construction and decoration were used glued laminated timber and lining. The facades of the house are painted in dark gray, and the walls and ceilings are painted in light cream. In general, the interior is a curious example of dacha functionalism.

Architect Peter Yushin: “This project is interesting because with the help of fairly simple, affordable materials (laminated veneer lumber, lining boards) we have created a country house, organically flowing into the environment without vulgar vividness and contrived aesthetics”
