How an object of about 800 m² has become more expensive than itself in 3 years: the case of a private residence Studia 54

The residence project in Repino has become just such an evidence-based story for Studia 54.

The concept of a 750 m² house appeared back in 2019. Then there were edits, drawings, construction, configuration, author's supervision and the final delivery of the house to the family. During this time, absolute trust has been formed between the customer and the team. Today, three years after the implementation, we come to this residence as invited guests and see how the project lives in reality. We always stay in touch with them and create a concept for their new project.

It was the exploitation that showed the main thing: the value of the house is the sincere emotions of the family from life inside it. How they spend the morning, where they gather in the evening, how they receive guests, how they walk around the site, how they use the winter garden, kitchen, study, terraces and hearth area.

Today we will reveal the philosophy of the Studia 54 brand, the specifics of working on a complex project, and analyze the case of a completed residence in Repino, where architecture, interior, landscape, and engineering have become even more valuable to the family over the years.

Why 54

The name of Studia 54 embodies the philosophy of our approach.

5 is responsible for the five physical senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. In the house design, they manifest themselves through light, views, silence, textures of materials, the fragrance of the garden and rituals at the table, which form the overall perception.

4 is responsible for a new dimension of life inside the house. This is a state in which architecture, interior, landscape, light, materials and routes add up to the personal world of the family.

In Repino, it was the fourth dimension that became the main result of the project. The house turned out to be valuable due to the fact that life appeared inside it: mornings with a view of the pines, walks around the site, evenings by the hearth, work in the study, meetings in the living room, the silence of the winter garden, receptions and family rituals that are repeated from year to year.

A project proven by family life

The residence in Repino occupies 750 m² and is located on a plot of 50 acres. The project includes a two-storey main house with a spacious terrace, a guest house with a mini-living room, a separate building for staff, a summer amphitheater with a sliding screen and an open hearth area.

At the start, it was important for the customer to preserve the century-old pine trees, the natural northern landscape and the height differences. Therefore, the architecture of the house was built around the site, its relief and the already established natural environment.

Three years later, it is especially clear what decisions were laid down for the future. Pine trees have become part of the view from the windows. The paths on the site have turned into daily routes. The winter garden has become a place of silence. The technical kitchen helps to receive guests in a calm rhythm. The focal area gathers the family in the evening. The master unit on the second floor retains its privacy and opens to the forest.

This is an increase in the value of the object. The house has become more expensive for the family, because every year it confirms the correctness of the decisions made.

Why a comprehensive project becomes more valuable over the years

Our customers come for projects from a wide variety of fields. They are professionals in their field and accurately understand the value of expertise. Therefore, they trust us with what we are professional in: architecture, interior design, landscape design, engineering solutions, configuration and implementation.

In a large project, every decision is linked to the next one. The landing of the house affects the viewpoints of the house. The preserved pine tree changes the architectural line. The difference of the section sets the routes. The kitchen is related to the reception scenario. A winter garden requires engineering. The office should help you concentrate. The master unit is responsible for privacy.

Savings on these solutions are often returned with alterations, unnecessary expenses, and daily annoyance. A strong project follows a different logic: it removes future problems in advance and creates an environment that becomes more convenient every year.

The Winter garden has become a point of recovery

The winter garden with a real olive tree became the heart of the house. For him, the Studia 54 team has provided automatic watering, air conditioning, humidification and dehumidification, lighting and ventilation.

After several years of operation, it became clear how important the engineering part of this solution was. The olive tree has retained the role of the living center of the house, and the winter garden has turned into a place for reading, relaxing and quiet contact with nature inside the interior.

We are still in touch with the customer's family and are consulting on all issues.

This is the difference between a spectacular idea and a professional integrated approach. An idea gives an image, engineering gives it a long life.

The master block has been kept private

The master bedroom is located on the second floor. The master living room has access to a terrace with views of the pine forest and the hearth area. The interior features veneer inlay, soft velour panels and smooth shapes.

So the owners got their own quiet territory inside a large family house. The terrace connects the master unit with nature, and soft materials and smooth geometry create a sense of security.

This block is especially valuable in daily life: it gives you the opportunity to get out of the general family rhythm and recover in your personal space.

Light, installations and furniture were included in the scenarios of the house

The spiral staircase greets guests with smart lighting that responds to movement. Above it is an installation of silver petals based on sketches by Studia 54. In the family living room, the theme is continued by hundreds of Czech glass petals above the sofa group: during the day they catch natural light, in the evening they give soft highlights and make the space more spacious.

FiftyFourms furniture has also become an important part of daily home scenarios. In the dining room, the dining table with its massive veneer top and leather supports has become the center of family dinners and receptions. In the living room, coffee tables assemble a soft zone, and in the study, the Petal table maintains working order thanks to hidden compartments for wires.

This is how the artistic solutions of the project are responsible for the atmosphere in the house: during receptions, family meetings, work, recreation and evening scenarios.

Why has the residence become more expensive than itself

In 2019, the house existed only on paper. Today it has become a personal family story.

This is the main value of the project: in the fourth dimension, which appears inside the house after moving. Studia 54 has created a personal family world in Repino, where architecture, interior, landscape, light and routes confirm the correctness of decisions every day.

Over the years, this world gets deeper. The forest matures, the routes are filled with habits, the winter garden receives family memories, the hearth zone gathers evenings, and the house increasingly coincides with the life of the owners. From these nuances, life in the house develops, and with it its liquidity increases.
