The appearance of the living space corresponds to the motives of a rural house – elementary wooden furniture, environmental friendliness, walls with the simplest natural finish. This technique allowed to create the necessary romantic atmosphere here.

But in the context of configuration and functionality, the cottage is designed in accordance with new trends in architecture. The house was built of reinforced concrete using monolithic technology.

The size of the site made it possible to realize several buildings here at once. The architects did not build one large house, but divided it into three buildings. Due to this, they emphasized the European rural flavor – instead of a large cottage, there are three cozy compact stone houses. The main one is designed for family living, and the rest are auxiliary, outbuildings.
