白色石屋 | SO MUCH BETTER | 2023 | 俄罗斯
Whitestone, 1100m² Type: residenceProject year: 2023 Now people increasingly want to hide from the outside world, hiding in their "fortress" behind high blind fences.
Rublyovo-Uspenskoye Highway, August 2023 But it wasn't always like that. For many millennia, people have been inextricably linked with nature and all elements, which played a key vital role - filled with strength, energy and at the same time calmness.
Photos of our expedition to Voronezh region This project turned out to be almost the antipode of the fortress house. This architecture is about openness, about a sense of integrity with the outside world in all details. Immense landscape of fields with hills, charming aromas of wild herbs and flowering fruit trees, birds singing and the ear-caressing rustle of ears. Words that seem to describe any person's place of power. They also describe the location for our new project. Away from the hustle and bustle of weekdays, noisy trails and running people, this place immerses us in a completely different reality — quiet and peaceful.
Approaching the house on a scenic road along rows of fruit trees, the first thing we meet is the front high wall of the main entrance. Drowning in a pond with natural vegetation and decorative carp, it accompanies us on the way along a stone path straight to the inviting volume of the entrance group with a majestic pivot door.
The external image of architecture is also subordinated to the global idea of merging with the environment. Strict volumes made of natural stone don't stand out against the background of the general landscape, but rather dissolve into it, creating the feeling that it's a part of the surrounding nature, as if this house has always been here.
Each space of this house is built so that a person feels like a part of the environment. The sculptural composition is diluted with a multitude of atriums with light lanterns and courtyards with greenery. With their help, we have achieved the maximum presence of nature everywhere. A particularly important place is occupied by the courtyard around which the logistics of the whole house is built. High windows along perimeter not only provide natural light to almost every corner, but also create a spectacular view of the landscape composition in the center.
This house is a complete reflection of a person who has no need to hide, who takes energy from the elements surrounding him — earth, water, fire and air. There are no fences, but only vast expanses of fields around, allowing you to take a deep breath, enjoy the sunrise and sunset landscapes around the campfire. And the soothing noise of the water flowing into the SPA area serves as a wonderful background for relaxation.
SPA The SPA block is located on the ground floor with a large outdoor pool. This solution allowed not only to add the necessary privacy to this area, but also to organize an interesting drop of terraces with a real waterfall and a recreation area hidden behind streams of water playing in the sun.
Despite the complete openness to the environment, the most intimate spaces still retain their privacy, being protected by courtyards with greenery with the help of decorative walls with perforations. They also give an interesting play of light and shadow in the interior.
A key part of the logic of the house is the cabinet, atrium and living room built one after the other. The absence of blank walls between them allows us to achieve not only the natural light ingress into all spaces, but also the maximum through visibility of beautiful views.
Master bedroom The entire master block is oriented towards sunrise, and panoramic corner windows by the bed allow you to enjoy beautiful sunrises. To the left of the bedroom, we organized a niche with a pond, which not only visually increased the space of the room, but also decorated everything around with glare playing in the sun. The master bathroom has an open layout, in the center of which there is an accent floor sink. Two more dominants in the form of a large tropical shower and a bathroom bowl stand on the axis opposite the window, which provides each with good view characteristics of the courtyard with greenery. Landscape compositions inside fill the room with freshness, and a perforated wall on the background, skipping openwork shadows, adds originality to the interior.
Patio Another important element is the covered roof terrace of the house. With vast area and the presence of a small room with a bar, it allows you to gather a large group of friends at sunset. In addition to the practical function, the patio roof plays a decorative role, echoing the warm shades of metal with the roof over the terrace of the first floor, making the image of the whole house harmonious and complete.
In the southern regions, where warm days are the overwhelming majority, street spaces are no less in demand than residential ones. Therefore, we have tried to saturate the terraces around the house with different functional areas for leisure scenarios for all occasions. On warm summer days, you can spend the whole day reading books, doing yoga by the waterfall, having dinner by the campfire, and not get bored from the monotony of the surroundings.
There is an opinion that water makes us happier. And it's true, ponds always attract the eye, relax with their sounds and add colors to any landscape. Of course, we didn’t neglect this fact and filled the already impressive picture of the environment with water accents. Mirrored canvases of ponds envelop the building from almost all sides and fill the spaces with the energy of one of the most powerful elements in the world. Water certainly affects us both physically and emotionally, which once again underlines one of the main missions of designing this house — unity with nature.
Harmonious symbiosis with the outside world is the main guideline when designing architecture in Better. We got an amazing place and we did our best to make it even better.
