Residence in Moscow

Subdued atmosphere

The project was conceived as a calm, cohesive living environment where the interior reinforces a sense of clarity and visual ease.

 

Design Philosophy

The aim was to create a home that feels open and grounded, allowing the surrounding landscape to guide the mood of the interior spaces. The approach emphasizes clean lines, gentle transitions, and a subdued atmosphere that invites reflection and comfort.

The design strengthens the relationship between the house and its surroundings. The long terrace becomes an intermediary zone that blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. Framed views, generous glazing, and thoughtful orientation ensure that the natural landscape remains an integral part of the living experience.

 

 

Functional Layout

The house unfolds along a linear circulation axis, with all primary rooms arranged in sequence. This layout supports intuitive movement while preserving visual continuity between the interior and the outdoors. Large openings frame the surrounding landscape, enabling natural light to define the spatial experience throughout the day.

All living functions are organized along a main corridor that connects the entrance area with the communal zones and private rooms. Each space is clearly defined yet visually linked, allowing for smooth transitions and unobstructed flow. The large terrace running the length of the house extends daily life outdoors and reinforces the connection with the garden.

 

 

Materials & Colors

The atmosphere is shaped by natural textures and a restrained palette of muted tones. Surfaces emphasize warmth and tactility, creating a sense of calm. The neutral composition provides a backdrop that allows art, light, and shadow to play an essential role in the perception of each space.
