This is how the concept of dense “original” building was created. Wooden houses are delicately united with a modern structure. The building is merged into the town’s skyline although it subtly stands out with its light contemporary forms. They shine through the gaps between “historic” facades either with the arrowslit-like window or with the roof-piercing towers. Wood-carved décor of facades reminds of museum’s exhibits neutral background defines the lace of window frames and ledges. Traditional decor contrasts with a modern black metal terrace. Minimalist structure reduces the historicism of the wooden parts, although this space does have an element of a play. Among the pillars there is a wood-carved column. This is the element of traditional wood construction, which is a source of inspiration for many generations of artists among them is the sculptor Constantin Brâncuși.

Main inspiration was taken from a traditional Russian country house called dacha random pieces of furniture taken from the city flats or given by friends form dacha’s distinctive and nonchalant image. In order to get this impression from a scratch, some furniture and decor in the project are the property of the owner, some were collected from different brands and vintage shops, and some designs were created specially for this project. Art and impressive library give a personal touch to the project and make the space look lived-in.
