Power of synergy: a house in a forest thicket
Private architecture is all about a search. It is necessary to work out widely, without prejudice, considering each possible way to implement the expectations of customers
. And then choosing the best option. In Studia 54 projects, the source of inspiration is often the initial data: the building reflects the mood and atmosphere of the environment
, and this represents the synergy of unity. A new project is located in the forest thicket of the Moscow region.
The customers wanted the maximum integration of the building into nature. There were certain difficulties of the site: it is quite gloomy because of the dense forest, it is cool even in summer, and there is a lack of natural lighting. However, the architects of Studia 54
are renowned for transforming difficulties into advantages.
To solve the problem of insolation, the house is planned around the courtyard
. It is placed so that you can catch both morning and evening rays of the sun. The sunken hearth is responsible for the heat: it is made with a reference to the traditional Japanese irori
. The hearth is surrounded by a sofa group, bonsai enlivens the space. The floor and steps are decorated with wood and harmoniously illuminated
so that everything contributes to the intimacy and comfort of the outdoor lounge area.

The ways out to the courtyard are decorated with sliding stained-glass windows: in summer they can be hidden. It erases all the boundaries between home and nature. And on cool days, stained glass windows work as walls with panoramic views, when you can simultaneously enjoy the comfort of a warm room and the beauty of the surrounding space.

Panoramic windows of the first floor let you enjoy both areas of the house and the courtyard
The facade is decorated not only with the usual materials
like natural wood and stone, but also with thick, solid metal sheets. This is how ancient and modern, artificial and natural are combined — a symbiosis
that makes this house unique and impressive. Metal is also used as a decoration of the water area. The sculpture on the water stylistically echoes the metal trim of the canopy which covers the path to the winter garden.
The contrast between the brutality of metal sheets and the tenderness of plants in the garden illustrates the general mood
of the residence: beauty is in contradiction, in diversity, in a variety of forms and richness of content.
