“It’s hard and easy to work in such conditions,” says Elena Uchaeva. On the one hand, nobody controls you in particular, does not indicate where to put which chair or which curtain to hang - I presented only a general concept and sketches that were approved. It is difficult because you do not know for whom the house is intended: what kind of people will live in it and what is their taste. Trying to imagine the average consumer.

The height of the two-light living room is 12 m. With the help of soft colors, tactile textures and smooth forms, the designer has made a huge space friendly for a person. Pendant lights Bocci. Fireplace Boley. The chimney of the fireplace from transparent tempered glass does not close the perspective, so the living room is perceived as a continuation of the TV room. Tables Pianca, Vases Noom, Jonathan Adler armchairs. Fireplace Boley. Vases made of metal - the work of the Ukrainian design studio Noom.

I was guided by my own ideas about how a family with children should live outside the city - there are three children's rooms in the house. I myself live in a country house and I also have three children. Therefore, I know how to plan the space so that it is convenient. I developed the project completely, from communications to decor. And even created a basic landscape design - the site was completely naked.

The house had the opportunity to install a fireplace, which I naturally took advantage of. I can not imagine a country house without a fireplace! There is a large recreation area with a sauna, a spa pool, a font - for me, this is the second component that distinguishes apartment living from country living. Planned large wine room. Well, the fact that each bedroom requires its own bathroom and dressing room - this is not even discussed!

There is no TV in the living room, I usually don’t plan it unless the customers insist. The living room, in my opinion, is designed for people to talk, admire lively fire, drink wine. And for watching TV, I equipped a separate room.

Sliding glass doors separate the kitchen from the dining room. When they are open, a single space arises. On the floor tiles Bisazza. Chairs Kartell. Two vintage engravings (Decogravure).

The kitchen has two entrances. One is black, from the hallway through the pantry, in which you can leave bags of groceries, the other - front door, through the dining room. When you have a large area at your disposal, it is possible to plan the space with the greatest benefit.

Green color is the leitmotif throughout the interior, in the kitchen it is very active. Furniture Leicht, lamps Tom Dixon. Vintage engraving (Decogravure).

I love the color in the interior, but here I had to restrain myself: if I made a house for my family, I would have included more colors. The average person I was targeting prefers a calmer gamut. The house has a neutral base in gray tones. Not beige! This is not a designer color.

Of course, I could not do without paints. We have a long winter, and the house has large windows, so from October to April the landscape will be sad. I wanted the green color to always be present in this house. Somewhere it appears in the form of pillows, somewhere it occupies a whole room, for example, in the kitchen or in the TV-zone - I made it dark, because it is more pleasant to watch TV in a dark shell, like in a movie theater.

When choosing furniture, I was guided by the brands that I love myself. I touched the things I personally saw at the exhibitions where I was sitting. Well, modern trends, of course, took into account, but I go to all the major exhibitions. I wanted to make a light modern interior, soften the exterior of monumental home, create an atmosphere of cocoon. Remove the feeling that this house is too big for the person who is there. But leave the air. ”
