An individual three-storey country house in the Moscow region. The architecture of the building is based on a balance of solidity, plastics and work with relief. There is also a utility block with a sauna complex on the site.

The unusual, sculptural plastic of the house is dictated by both the shape of the plot and the orientation of the rooms to the cardinal directions, as well as the species characteristics, as well as the goal to preserve the maximum number of existing large trees on the site.

The volume of the house is formed by large geometric blocks: strict cubic shapes with clear corners smoothly turning into rounded lines.

The house has three levels, two of which are located above the ground. The lower level is integrated into the terrain of the site and includes an entrance to the garage. Due to the height difference, the building is naturally planted on the site and does not look massive, despite the complex three-dimensional composition.

Large windows open the interior to the surrounding landscape and connect the interior space with the garden. The cantilevered elements of the second floor form protected areas at the entrance and along the facade, visually lightening the overall mass of the building.

The main focus of the project is the expressive decoration of the facade in a warm beige-sand shade in the form of vertical crossbar bricks. This material saturates large planes with details and emphasizes the solidity of volumes. The vertical texture of the finish visually increases the height of the building, forms a calm rhythm, creates a play of light and shadow and gives the facades tactile depth.

On the territory of the site there is a separate utility block with a sauna complex — an independent architectural volume that continues the general style of the main house and works as part of a single suburban environment.

The building is designed in soft plastic: the extended horizontal volume, rounded corners and expressive removal of the roof create a calm, solid silhouette. The architecture of the household unit does not argue with the main house, but delicately complements it, supporting the overall concept of natural solidity.

The utility block is also integrated into the terrain of the site: neat paths and green terraces lead to it. Recreation areas have been formed around the building, which allow the sauna complex to be used not only as a functional room, but also as a full-fledged recreation space.
