Architect Boris Uborevich-Borovsky Made in the suburbs house in the classical style. However, the author himself prefers other definitions - the traditional, conservative ...

The house, in the architecture of which the features of the traditional English manor are guessed, will be further surrounded by a park and almost hidden among the trees. Therefore, in its facades there is nothing catchy, designed to impress the imagination. It is enough that its contrastingly trimmed walls will, as planned, peek out from behind the trees and, as it were, invite the visitor to enter the house. “The role of the facade is quite modest,” says the architect. “The main meaning is in the interior. I tried to reflect the character and fate of a person, his commitment to traditional values, his very organic and therefore very attractive conservatism.”

The three-storey mansion is planned, in general, quite traditional: on the first floor there are public rooms, on the second there are private rooms (study and bedrooms with bathrooms), on the third, attic floor, there is a chamber living room. There is another floor, ground floor. There are a swimming pool, sauna, billiard room and utility rooms. The main entrance on the first floor leads to the hall, where the main themes of the interior are immediately read - grandness, solidity, respect for traditions. Marble, dark wood, forms that are monumental. On the floor in front of the elevator there is a family monogram made of stone mosaic. Next are the living room with a fireplace and a winter garden in a spectacular bay window.

However, the main room in this house is a large dining room with a huge table for 18 people, made according to the sketches of the architect. "In this house they love and are able to receive guests," says Boris Uborevich-Borovsky, - here do not recognize buffet tables and traditionally welcome guests in the dining room. Therefore, I designed this room in a solemn vein: furniture that goes back to style Empire, parquet flooring, strict draperies, classic chandeliers with crystal pendants ... "

Usually guests move from the dining room to a small, chamber living room, the center of attraction of which is a fireplace. Around him and grouped furniture, arranged symmetrically, as required by the classic interior. "The living room in a country house - in my understanding - is a place where a person can communicate with nature, - says the architect. - Therefore, the project has a lot of glass. In addition to the semicircular bay window, which is a winter garden, it is also a glazed terrace in the left wing of the house and the elevator shaft. " Glass creates a pleasant balance of sensations in the interior: on the one hand - closeness, warmth and comfort, on the other - openness, air, freshness.

Project author Boris Uborevich-Borovsky: "The customer wanted the interior to be classic. I do not like a clean, refined approach to the classics, so we decided to make an interior on the theme of classics combining techniques of different styles. The mood is solid and conservative, and the" conservative "is the key concept
