By decorating this private home surrounded by picturesque landscapes, designer Vladimir Afanasev sought to create a comfortable environment for a large family, while simultaneously providing a space for each member to rest in private. The building has four floors and each has access to a terrace: here, in summer, customers enjoy the sun and warm sea air.
“Our clients, a young family with three children, use this house as a beach holiday home, where you can visit at any time of the year for a long period. The great fortune of working with them was the trust they placed in me. This is not the first time they have approached me for a project, so they willingly agreed to the building upgrades and atypical solutions I proposed. This made it possible to realize the project as it was originally conceived.” The author of the project told us.
The undisputed advantage is the location of the object: the house is located in the mountains, in a quiet place. The windows offer a picturesque view of the bay and the protected area of the reserve, which will never be developed.
The clients purchased the house without finishing, there were no partitions inside, so the layout was developed from scratch. One of the disadvantages is represented by the not entirely successful architecture. The previous owners built the building as a guest house, as evidenced by the terraces on the various floors and the three exits on each of them. In addition, everything was complicated by the small surface area of the floors, due to the difficult terrain, and the monolithic column in the center of each floor.
As a result, the house managed to organize a master bedroom, two separate bedrooms for children, two bathrooms, one with laundry function, a large kitchen-dining room-living room to bring the whole family together. On the upper floor, from where you can access the terrace with sun loungers, there is a multifunctional space with a fireplace and a small kitchen, which, depending on your needs, can serve as a relaxation area for winter meetings, an office or a guest room.
In addition, it was decided to design a small outbuilding and relocate parts of the water pipes and storage there. One of the bedrooms has a separate private terrace.
The interior was not overloaded with many colors. The goal was to make it warm and welcoming. Accents are placed – blue, as a reference to the sea, and natural terracotta shades. The walls of all rooms are painted a single color and the floors are finished in ceramic granite. All this made it possible to create a background and advantageously show the subtle nuances in the choice of finishes, the lightness of space, the play of light.
Particular attention was paid to the decoration of the furniture. It took a particularly long time to select and coordinate the wood color with the suppliers.
The most striking feature was a bench in the living room. It is made from a heat-treated poplar composite, which absorbs oil rather unpredictably during finishing. The bench had to be redone several times to achieve the desired shade.
