In laborious work at the project of this big cedar house, the keynote was an architectural tradition of Alpine chalets. It is very attractive thanks to common freshness of the image, clear simplicity and modern lines. For the whole project, it was important to get any association neither with traditional Russian “merchant” house nor with typical “erectors” made of lined boards or round logs.

Besides, it was very important to create a project free from gingerbread fabulousness, according both to the landscape and to its owners’ tempers. We realized that however hard we may had tried to escape from today Moscow region’s to the Alpine foothill, reality of the world around should not conflict with the object.

Constructive possibilities of Norwegian hand assembly, large experience in projecting complicated modern wooden buildings, use of 38 twelve-meter lafets in a rafter system let bring all projects to life as well as to add more lightness and volume to the houses beyond clients’ expectations.

Golden red color of mountain cedar wood was used as a dominant tone in every house interior.

The center of the house is defined by a space living room united with a kitchen-dining room; a feeling of a space light hall is enhanced by eight-meter domical ceilings of “the second light”. Further, through a hall and a lobby of the second entrance it is possible to go to a living part of the first floor – the owners’ sleeping room and a cabinet.

Common ease of the use of the sleeping room and the cabinet is ideal for the owners, especially in case of some guest crowd at every level of the house.

All the walls without exception are logged, polished carefully; natural wood makes a wonderful ornament of ridiculous veins.

Used in the interior, massive oak floorboard, toned into deep dark-brown for contrast, is a visual accelerator for natural beauty of the lafet, for antique furniture and even for the apparently modern high-tech lighters.

Stairs, connecting the three levels of the house, is made of beech massive, the passages’ design is made as ascetic as possible, however ascent and descent are maximally comfortable, there are broad stairs, convenient turning places and strictly shaped banisters.

A cozy hall of the second floor opens a broad, separate from “the second light” passage to an outside balcony door on the second floor, which is a sort of inner balcony, from which there is a romantic view down – to a apart of the living room.

Therefore, here a curious architectural allegory was created – the inner and outside balconies follow each other. In the morning, this silent place lets watch and feel something easily escaping perception in daytime.

On the right and left from the center of the hall, on the second floor there are two big light sleeping rooms, situated in contrary ells; and a little side hall naturally turned to a library corner with a bookcase, a magazine table and comfortable armchairs.

High domical ceilings of the second floor add sufficient volume to the space of all the rooms, creating a feeling of lightness and freedom.

Polished mountain cedar lafet turns the interiors to magic galleries full of light and warmth; it bears a wonderful felling of harmony of lightness and power, spreading through the entire house. A little harsh balsamic fragrance of cedar fulls everything around with delicious odor.
