In recent years, private houses built in the style of old Russian estates have become very popular.
Cottages created in modern "technogenic" styles are beginning to lose their relevance. Increasingly, customers are turning to architects with a request to create a private house project in the Russian style in order to return to ancient traditions. Many people think that only elite houses can be built in the form of a noble estate, but this is absolutely not the case. If the customer wishes, even a small cottage can be made with elements of the Russian historical architectural style. It will turn out a very beautiful, compact mini-estate. Such a house does not have to be huge and three-story at all.
In modern cottage villages, homesteads are increasingly appearing. They are fundamentally different from neighboring buildings built in modern styles. The cottage-estate is a classic, such an architectural style will not go out of fashion in a few decades. If you want to build a real "family nest" not only for yourself, but also for children and grandchildren, choose this particular architectural style. Even after many years, such a cottage will look luxurious.
It is in the manor houses that an indescribable feeling of comfort and tranquility is created. Of course, this is possible provided that the architectural and interior style is maintained correctly. In this case, the house will really have an amazing atmosphere. It will be truly "home" and incredibly comfortable. Why, among the abundance of architectural styles, this one seems so dear to many people? It's probably genetic memory. No matter how interesting and attractive cottages in the Mediterranean, Swiss, Scandinavian, exotic styles may seem, only the traditions of their people can touch the strings of the soul.
How were noble estates built in the old days?
To create a modern cottage in this architectural style, you need to understand historical facts, understand what Russian estates were like, what are their distinguishing features. Absolutely all old estates are characterized by a combination of luxury, comfort and quiet village life. This is what creates that unique atmosphere of comfort and tranquility. In those days, there was no frantic rhythm of life, from which we all get so tired in modern times. Therefore, the old estates are imbued with the spirit of calm and regularity. If you want to make your home really cozy, where you can truly relax from the hustle and bustle, choose this particular architectural style.
As a rule, the word "estate" meant not one house, but a whole complex of buildings that were built in the same style, decorating the facades with stucco and columns in the same way. Such houses were built for a long time, but "for centuries". That is why many have survived to this day, collapsing only for the reasons that they are not restored or completely left abandoned and uninhabited. Such a “family nest” was built taking into account the fact that several generations would live in it. Therefore, the rooms were made very spacious, the facades were decorated with stucco, statues, and all this was done very high quality so that children or grandchildren would not have to make major repairs to the estate.
What does everyone imagine when they hear the words "noble estate"? Of course, a luxurious house with white columns, a terrace, a huge garden for walking and even a private lake. The main feature of such estates was that they fit perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Around the house, they necessarily created a luxurious garden with many paths for walking, they certainly built cozy gazebos. Only the best craftsmen were trusted to perform facade work during the construction of the estate. Probably everyone knows that there are no two completely identical noble estates. All of them are somewhat similar, because they were built at approximately the same time, but at the same time, they are all radically different. The facade was the real "face" of the estate, it was necessarily decorated with stucco, columns and statues. Sometimes there were even too many decorations, because of which the general appearance of the estate turned out to be rather pompous. But in those days it was considered the norm and a sign that the owner is rich and belongs to a high class. According to the facade of the estate, the financial well-being of its owner was assessed. That is why the landowners competed among themselves whose house would look richer and more luxurious.
In those days, wood and stone were used to decorate the facade, it was made monumental so that it would serve several generations, while maintaining its presentable appearance. Modern building materials make it possible to make luxurious facades in the historical Russian style, which will also serve for decades. The compositions and materials that are created in our time are much more resistant to weather factors, they are also light and do not weigh down the walls. Previously, the architect could “make a name for himself” on the construction of the estate. The fame of a luxurious house spread very quickly not only in the region, but throughout Russia and even beyond its borders. That is why the architects put their soul into their creations, they thought over not only the appearance of the estate, but also helped the owners with interior design. In those days, the decoration of rooms was treated responsibly, furniture and decor were made to order from the best craftsmen. The owners of the estate sought to ensure that the facade of the house and the interior of the premises were in harmony with each other.
Even in those days there were standard designs for estates. But they were taken as a basis, the architect each time came up with a unique facade, making it unique due to the abundance of decorative elements. Also, redevelopment of the premises was done at the request of the owners. That is why in Russia there are no two completely identical estates.
It should be noted that there were several types of noble estates:
- If they were located in a village outside the city and were a place of permanent residence, they were adapted specifically for these purposes. Stables, a barnyard, greenhouses for growing vegetables and fruits were necessarily built nearby. Pheasants were set up in the garden, where decorative birds were kept.
- A little later, estates that were built "in the European manner" became fashionable. Their main feature was the presence of huge summer greenhouses and winter gardens.
- There were also city estates, which differed from country estates. They occupied a smaller area, so the owners invested even more in creating a beautiful facade and luxurious furnishings in the rooms.
The main features of the layout of rooms in a noble estate
The estate was necessarily divided into two halves. In the smaller one there were rooms for servants, as well as all kinds of utility rooms, a kitchen. It was indecent for the landlords to walk along the same corridors with servants. Therefore, in the estates, almost all rooms were made through. That is, they had three doors, through one of them it was possible to get into a long corridor, and through the other two into neighboring rooms. The hosts walked “through wide doors”, that is, they very rarely used the corridors, but simply passed through all the rooms to get to the right one. The servants walked along the corridors so as not to interfere with the owners. On the first floor, a huge room was necessarily allocated, making it a room for balls and banquets.
Also, in the noble estate, a whole room was allocated for a library. Of course, these features of noble estates are not relevant to our time. Now it is absolutely not necessary to divide the house into half "lordly" and half for servants. Also, no one makes huge ballrooms now. Instead, on the ground floor, you can make a spacious living room with a fireplace, it can be combined with a dining room.
How to build your house in the style of a noble estate:
- First of all, it is necessary to develop individual project future cottage or choose one you like from existing ones.
- It is very important to choose the right land for construction. It must be in a picturesque and quiet place. It is very desirable to have a river, lake or at least a small pond nearby. It will be great if a small pond is on the territory, it can be turned into a "highlight" of your future family estate.
- A house in the style of a noble estate must be decorated with columns. They are made not only on the facade of the building, but also in the living room. Such a house seems to “dissolve in time”. In a few years, guests who see your estate for the first time will be sure that it is old and passed to you by inheritance. But to create such an effect, it is necessary to abandon the use of "technogenic" building materials. For example, there should be no plastic, windows should only be wooden.
- You need to take care not only about the convenient layout of the rooms, but also about making the facade of your estate unique. It needs to be made a real masterpiece of architectural art. If you wish, you can borrow some elements by looking at photographs of the estates you like, but never completely copy the facade decoration. Wood carving will look luxurious. Do not worry that the wood will crack and turn black in a few years, there are a huge number of special antifungal impregnations, as well as varnishes that will protect the wood from moisture for many years, while leaving its beauty open. Making stucco decorations thanks to modern materials is now very simple. For this, ready-made patterns and foam products are used, which are glued in the right place, they require a mandatory finish. Also, to decorate the facade, there are ready-made stucco elements made of gypsum. They are attached with special glue, as they are quite heavy.
- The main and most spacious room in such a house should be the living room. It is sure to make a stone fireplace in order to create a unique comfort with its help and emphasize the architectural style you have chosen.
- The house, which was built in the style of a noble estate, should look old, but at the same time, it is possible and necessary to make modern air conditioning, plumbing, lighting and other systems in it.
- The house-estate must be very cozy and warm, for this you need to use modern heat-insulating materials.
- Take care not only of the appearance of the cottage, but also of the interior in the rooms. Agree, it will be rather strange if the outside of the house looks like an old manor, but inside it is decorated in the style of minimalism, hi-tech or loft. There should be no signs of "technogenic civilization" in the interior. Take responsibility for the choice of furniture and decor. Ideally, they should be antique, now it is not a problem to purchase real antique furniture in excellent condition. But new modern furniture is also quite suitable, but all of it should be made in antique style. Chandeliers must be luxurious and massive in the "noble" style. Candle lights are ideal. The best elements of decor will be all kinds of antique gizmos.
- In the living room you can make huge windows from ceiling to floor. They need to be curtained with plain curtains with lambrequins and large tassels made of dense threads.
- Pay special attention to the arrangement of the territory around your estate. In the courtyard there must be a gazebo, made in the same style as the facade. You can also make a small fountain or waterfall. Be sure to take care of the beautiful night illumination of the yard, install lanterns that will look like old ones. If there is a small pond in the yard, you can throw a bridge with a wrought iron railing over it.
- Take care of creating a beautiful landscape design. To emphasize the style of an old noble estate, be sure to plant decorative bushes along the paths, which will need to be trimmed regularly, giving them a neat shape.
The American architectural style is a descendant of the old European one. Emigrants from Europe, and primarily from England, brought the architectural trends of their countries to North America, where they introduced and developed them. A feature of this style is, of course, the desire of the first settlers to demonstrate the scale and wealth of the house. Hence the feeling of the house as a whole architectural complex.
American architecture is distinguished by spaciousness, symmetry, numerous cascading roofs, columns, many large windows, often with shutters, sometimes spiers, a high central staircase, horizontal extension, a minimum of relief details, light plaster as decoration. With all their appearance, these projects of houses and cottages demonstrate the successful life of the owners in the new uninhabited lands.
English style
The English style is a combination of aristocracy and restraint, refined taste and expensive materials. This architectural style in our country is more often defined by the general term "English style", but in reality it is two interrelated styles - Georgian and Regency style, which were named by historical eras. In the modern sense, the English house is a mixture of these styles.
They were formed under the influence of mainland Europe, but they were rethought here in their own way. Features of the English style: rectangular, symmetrical plan; uniform distribution and dimension of all windows; brick, poorly decorated walls; low-lying entrance with a portico; medium height roof slopes; minimum removal of the roof over the walls; five windows on the main facade; steam pipes; pilasters on the sides of the door; paneled doors.
The house in true English style is built entirely of red brick. The facade of an English house is quite strict and only in rare cases small decorations are allowed. A mandatory attribute is the presence of a lawn and flower beds.
F.L. style Wright (prairie style)
Born June 8, 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright is the world's greatest architect, the most prolific, controversial and inspiring.
Wright disliked the intricate detail and fussiness of existing architectural styles. He advocated cleanliness and simplicity of lines, and believed that well-constructed buildings complemented the surroundings.
The prairie style spread to the midwestern United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The prairie style is characterized by pronounced and emphasized horizontal lines, flat or hipped roofs with wide overhangs, windows combined into horizontal stripes, and maximum integration of the building into the landscape. The name of the style comes from the long horizontal lines, evoking prairie landscapes.
This style is also characterized by minimalist decoration of facades, the central location of the fireplace room as a symbol of the family hearth. The complication of the geometry of the house is achieved with the help of glazed galleries, balconies, parapets and flower beds. The boundary between the interior and the terrace is lost. The common areas look like halls.
Gothick style
Gothic is a period in the development of medieval art, covering almost all areas of material culture and developing in Western, Central and partly Eastern Europe from the 12th to the 15th centuries. The Gothic style mainly manifested itself in the architecture of temples, cathedrals, churches, monasteries. It developed on the basis of Romanesque, more precisely, Burgundian architecture. The Gothic style is characterized by arches with pointed tops, narrow and high towers and columns, a richly decorated facade with carved details (wimpergi, tympanums, archivolts) and multicolored stained-glass lancet windows. All style elements emphasize the vertical. The Neo-Gothic architectural style is characterized by adapted Gothic elements: lancet arches, high elongated pediments, light-framed towers, internal columns, tall narrow windows with traditional sashes.
European style
One of the most popular architectural styles today is European. Based on the architectural traditions of the past, conservative, it harmonizes well with nature.
European-style houses are distinguished by regular geometric shapes, often complicated by bay windows. When designing, as a rule, the shape of a square or close to a square is used.
The plinth is usually finished with stone or tile. The roof is made of two or four slopes. Traditionally, red natural tiles were used as roofing, which today is being replaced by metal ones. The door is decorated in a color that contrasts with the color of the walls. Windows are usually small, rectangular or arched. When planning the interior space, great attention is paid to its efficiency, thanks to which it is possible to place everything you need in a relatively small area.
Italian style
The Italian style in architecture has been formed over the centuries, which largely determines its truly unique character.
The Italian style is sometimes referred to as Neo-Renaissance. It originated in England at the beginning of the 19th century. The English architect John Nash is considered to be the founder. The Italian style combined the architectural finds of Italian architects of the 16th century with elements of Palladian and neoclassicism.
The Italian style in architecture is the choice of people who value quality, tradition and natural beauty. This direction in design and architecture is characterized by the use of natural materials, traditions, comfort and simplicity. Italian-style wood and stone are combined with wrought iron elements. The walls are most often covered with decorative plaster and decorated with stucco decoration or mosaics.
The Italian-style house is characterized by almost flat roofs with low slopes, barely visible from the ground, brackets supporting the roof eaves, a tower or bell tower, a belvedere.
Classic style
In architecture, classicism is understood as an architectural style common in Europe in the 18th - early 19th centuries, the main feature of which was an appeal to the forms of ancient architecture. The architecture of classicism is characterized by a regular layout and clarity of form, a symmetrical axial composition, and restraint of decor.
Cottages in the classical style are characterized by strict observance of the principles of proportionality and harmony. Spatial solutions are concise, focused on the predominance of rectilinear and clear outlines in plans with the dominance of symmetrical-axial planning systems.
The decoration uses facade plaster, pitched tiled roofs, marble and gypsum - for columns and balustrades, iron and cast iron - for gratings, balconies and fences.
Despite the advantages of trendy architectural styles, classical motifs are still popular. After all, adherence to the classics is a sign of the solidity and fine taste of the owner of the house.
Minimalism
Minimalism appears in the 60s of the XX century in the USA. The main idea of minimalism in architecture is the desire to leave only the most necessary, each element should perform the maximum number of functions. Characteristic features of minimalism: the maximum possible conciseness, adherence to composition, use of natural materials, maximum functionality and attention to detail, strict lines and geometry, uniform color scheme, attention to lighting design, use of light colors.
Much attention is paid to the choice of materials and their quality. Priority is given to natural materials such as stone, wood, glass or marble.
Minimalism is widely used both in public buildings, offices, shopping centers, and in private homes.
Minimalism is ideal for lovers of simplicity, tranquility and rigor. Minimalist spaces radiate calmness and silence. This is a "purified" style, but in turn elegant and innovative in form and finish.
Modern
Modern was born at the turn of the 20th century. in European architecture as a movement to create the style of its era. Art Nouveau is characterized by the rejection of obligatory symmetrical forms, silhouettes and ornaments, stylizing the forms of plants in smooth, curving lines. The facades are distinguished by rounded contours of the openings, the use of wrought iron gratings and glazed ceramics. Particular attention is paid to the design of window openings with an ornate pattern of bindings and stained-glass windows.
The emergence of the principle of constructing buildings "from the inside out" and in connection with this, the openness of the compositions and the variety of forms. The interior forms the core of the house and defines its appearance. In terms of the building, most often they tend to be square, the rooms are grouped around the hall.
The Art Nouveau style develops mainly in the architecture of urban mansions and expensive apartment buildings, country villas and summer cottages. Modern promotes individuality. Like a century ago, a house in this style provides comfort, coziness and bright, memorable architecture.
german style
A style based on practicality, economy and rationality. This is manifested in everything - in the layout, design, choice of materials and design features. The shape of the houses tends to be square.
The windows in traditional German houses are small, rectangular or arched, divided by a sash. Windows often have shutters. Frames are usually massive. Doors are made of wood and painted in a color that contrasts with the color of the wall of the house. The plinth is finished with facing tiles “under natural stone”. There are almost always bay windows or balconies. A bay window is often the highlight of a home. The roof is often gable, but it can also be four-slope. Roofing - bituminous or metal tiles, shades of red. The planning features are reduced to making the house as economical and rational as possible. German-style houses most often have one or two floors plus an attic. In order to save space, the layout is arranged in such a way that the house has a minimum of corridors.
norwegian style
The Norwegian house is a variant of the Scandinavian style house. The Norwegian house is a continuation of the historic Viking longhouse style. Norwegian houses are elongated sloping houses, most often on one floor, red, brown or black with natural roofing material. Business card of the Norwegian house - inverted green roof
The earliest real log houses in Norway and Sweden date back to the 11th century. AD, while in Russia log cabins were already known from the 8th-9th centuries. AD Probably the technology was brought by Varangian mercenaries returning from service in Russia. Later, the Russian log house was used in Norway only for non-residential buildings, such as wells, robes, bridge bulls, pasture haylofts. And already in the XI century. In Norway, a fundamentally different method of felling with a self-locking lock is known, which does not allow cracks to open when the tree dries out. The Norwegian logging technique in its modern form appeared already in the 13th century.
Provence
Provence is one of the historical regions in the south of France. The peculiarities of a Provence-style house are refinement and a kind of romantic tenderness of the exterior of the house. A special place belongs to the details. Such a house has practically no basement, and such a house naturally does not have a porch that is familiar to us. The garden path just rests on the front door. The walls of the house must be made of brick or stone. Most often, the walls are covered with plaster of light colors. In some places, the plaster can expose the brick wall, and this gives the house a peculiar zest. Balconies with balustrades can be located on the second floor. The windows on the first floor are narrow and must have blinds. The windows on the second and third floors are bigger. The roof is multi-pitched, high, under the tiles. The roof is decorated with numerous towers with dormer windows. For a Provence-style house, doors are an important detail. They should be massive with forged hinges and have a viewing window.
Traditionally, various extensions are attached to the house: a summer kitchen, a summer outbuilding or a garage.
Rococo
Rococo - from fr. rococo, from fr. rocaille - decorative shell, shell, rocaille). The architectural (decorative) style of Rococo appeared in France (1715-1723) and reached its apogee under Louis XV, moved to other European countries and dominated it until the 1780s. The Rococo style was a continuation of the Baroque style. He did not introduce any new structural elements into the architecture.
Rococo architecture tends to be light, welcoming, playful. In the creations of this architecture, straight lines and flat surfaces almost disappear; established orders are modified; columns lengthen, then shorten and twist in a helical shape; their capitals are distorted by coquettish changes, the cornices are placed above the cornices; the roofs are girdled along the edge with balustrades; pediments represent breaking convex and sunken lines, crowned with vases, sculptural figures. In the frame of windows, doors, walls inside the building, in plafonds, intricate stucco ornamentation is used, consisting of curls resembling plant leaves, flower garlands and shells.
Russian estate
The first estates appeared in the distant past. Moscow was once just a manor too. Carved facades, classical forms, small turrets, patterned windows - wooden Russian estates amaze with their beauty.
Skillful artistic wood carving was a characteristic and original decoration of Russian wooden buildings - and this is one of the few traditions that have survived among the people to this day. The carving is embossed and through. Be sure to decorate the top of the roof - the "ridge", it was often made in the form of a horse's head, a porch canopy, shutters and window trim. The decoration of the roof was dominated by the animal pagan style, coming from the Scythian nomads. They depicted symbolic amulets, including horses, birds, roosters, and snakes.
The concept of a family nest in a Russian estate acquires great value. Russian style emphasizes the status of the owner of the house, who is proud of his history and origin. A Russian estate is a place of residence, as well as an opportunity to preserve and pass on to descendants one's history, surname and traditions.
northern modern
In Russian modernist architecture, the direction - the northern modernist style - stood out especially. The style received its main development in St. Petersburg at the beginning of the 20th century under the influence of Swedish architecture, as well as the Finnish architectural school of national romanticism. This was facilitated by economic and cultural ties with the Finnish and Swedish states, where national romanticism was the main trend in art.
Characteristic features of northern modernism are a combination of artificial and natural finishing materials, facing the basement of the building with Finnish granite, covering the upper floors with finishing bricks or textured plaster. The form of buildings built in the northern modern style is massive and free from small decor. Rustication, ornaments and bas-reliefs on the themes of Russian folklore were widely used. The architectural decor is massive, the color is minimalistic, the color scheme is severe in the northern way.
Scandinavian style
The countries of the Scandinavian Peninsula - Sweden, Norway and historically and geographically connected with them Denmark and Finland had similar conditions for the development of architecture.
The Scandinavian house is simple, but by no means primitive, compact, but not cheap. It was created to protect its inhabitants from unpleasant climatic influences and provide them with maximum comfort.
Scandinavian-style houses are one- and two-story buildings, concise and discreet. Traditionally, houses were made of wood, which was tinted or varnished. The windows in Scandinavian-style houses are quite large, sometimes they are panoramic. The emphasis is on wooden massive frames. The basement and basement in the houses of the Scandinavian style are absent. The roof is covered with tiles, metal - painted or "natural" or various polymeric materials. It can be both pitched and even, but pitched is more common. In front of the front door, a porch with a wooden staircase and carved railings, or a terrace is usually constructed.
Modern style
A house in a modern style implies openness to nature, large spaces, panoramic windows. In a modern style, they often combine rooms - for example, a living room with a fireplace room, a kitchen with a dining room.
The credo of modern architecture is embedded in the name itself - this is what would correspond to today, a fundamental orientation towards the novelty of architecture, both constructive and planning ideas, and external forms.
The main principles of modern architecture: the use of the latest building materials and structures, a rational approach to solving interior spaces (functional approach), the absence of decoration trends, the fundamental rejection of historical elements in the appearance of buildings. In the decoration of facades can be used: facade plaster, facing brick, wood, stone, porcelain stoneware. As a rule, the owners of houses in a modern style are active, dynamic people who travel a lot and are familiar with different cultures firsthand.
Mediterranean (Mediterranean) style
The Mediterranean is Greece, Spain, Italy, France, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco and other countries that have contributed to the formation of an architectural style called the Mediterranean. In this style, there are miniature houses with tiled roofs, immersed in lush vegetation, and luxurious snow-white villas on the coast.
Such buildings are characterized by plastered walls, flat or low tiled roofs, the use of terracotta tiles and stone in the decoration. The walls can be decorated with ornaments. Balconies and windows are trimmed with wrought iron railings. The roof extension is quite large and decorated with a cornice. The buildings necessarily have large balconies or spacious covered terraces.
A characteristic feature of the Mediterranean house is the presence of a courtyard, a secluded patio, hidden from prying eyes. Such a technique can be very relevant for Russians who are forced to put country houses almost close to each other. Functional and practical comfort is created by improvised means, not without ingenuity, commitment to tradition and love of creativity.
Medieval
Castle architecture was born from the Romanesque style that dominated Europe from around 1000 AD. and before the emergence of Gothic art in the thirteenth century. The earliest structures were copied from Roman military camps. The construction of gigantic stone structures began with the Normans, and classical castles appeared in the 12th century.
The castle type of a country house is characterized by large forms, massive and high walls, the presence of balconies, bay windows, terraces and towers, an intricate composition in terms of plan and facade. Facing bricks, stone, plaster can be used to finish the facade of the house. There are no architectural excesses in houses of this style; noble simplicity creates a feeling of monumentality and stability. The windows are arched, or rectangular, but with an interesting ending. Doors can be of any shape, they have many decorative elements - a visor, framing made of forging or stucco, stained glass, mosaics. Facades are often asymmetrical. The shape of the roof in such cottages is always complex, since the house often consists of several parts.
Fachwerk
Fachwerk - from the German Fachwerk, Fach - panel, section, Werk - structure. This is one of the oldest building structures, widespread in Europe during the Middle Ages. Such houses were built in different countries, but most of them in Germany - about 2.5 million.
Fachwerk houses were built everywhere in Germany already in the 12th century. The heyday of the half-timbered style came in the 16th century. Half-timbered buildings were influenced by fashionable architectural trends: Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance.
Half-timbered houses have a rigid wooden frame made of posts, beams and braces. The space between the wooden beams, called panels, was filled with a mixture of clay and reeds. Then the panels were plastered and painted in light colors, while the frame of dark beams remained in sight. It was he who divided the facade into separate cells of various shapes and gave the house that unique originality, which became the main architectural feature of the half-timbered style. The wooden beams of the construction of half-timbered houses have many different motifs: crosses, figures, flowers, geometric patterns.
High tech
Hi-tech comes from English hi-tech, from high technology - high technology. This is the architectural and design style of the late XX - early XXI century. Style promotes the aesthetics of the material. The main features of hi-tech are the most functional use of space and discreet decor. The style is characterized by swift, straight lines, protruding structural elements, silver-metal color, wide use of glass, plastic and metal. Hi-tech refers to ultra-modern styles; it uses designs typical of industrial buildings. Used materials - glass, metal, natural wood.
The style arose from the architecture of industrial premises, where all elements of the furnishings are subject to a functional purpose. At first, it was more of an approach to architecture than a particular style. Elements of industrial aesthetics moved into the living space, where they were further developed: a mixture of high technology and constructivism came out.
High-tech style is very popular now among people who live in the spirit of the times and are young at heart.
Chalet
The chalet style originated in Savoy, in a province in the southeast of France. It absorbed the rich history of the Alpine mountains and local traditions. Translated from French "chalet" - a shawl; warm; and, in fact, a Swiss house in the mountains. Initially, an alpine chalet is a dwelling built securely from massive timber, protecting shepherds from bad weather in the mountains.
The chalet is a safe and practical accommodation. A chalet is a house with a sloping roof, the slopes of which protrude strongly above the main walls. This design of the roof served to protect the house and the local area from snow and bad weather. Spacious terraces also appeared for practical reasons. With their help, the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe house is significantly increased. An open terrace is an integral part of the chalet, which may not have a fence and be considered as part of the local area.
Chalet-style houses are usually chosen by people who strive not only to create a cozy home, but also care about the environmental friendliness of their home. The feeling of unity with nature arises in everyone who gets into the chalet.
swedish style
The Swedish style is a variation of the Scandinavian approach to architecture. Red and white cottages fit perfectly into both the winter and summer Swedish landscape and are a landmark of this country. The traditional Swedish cottage is a simple, wood-paneled, red-painted cottage with white corners, windows, and doors. Swedish dwellings at all times were mostly wooden (or half-timbered in forest-poor areas). The manor complex includes a residential building and outbuildings united around the courtyard. Swedish architecture is characterized by strict simplicity and sparse decor.
Functionality and simplicity, commitment to natural materials, discreet color combinations are typical of the Swedish style as well as Scandinavian architecture in general. Wooden houses made of light woods with wide window openings look like a natural addition to the landscapes of Sweden and beyond.
dutch style
The Dutch country house style is a variation on colonial design that offers a simple layout behind the main façade. In the external appearance of such buildings, an original style was formed, which is both practical and decorative. The house in the Dutch style is characterized by a large sharp gable roof with hips, simple windows, and the asymmetry of the facade. Traditionally, the basement of the house is finished with stone, and the facades are made in light-colored plaster. The house has a symmetrical layout. The main entrance leads to the hallway around which the rooms are located. The way of life of diligent, tidy, hardworking Dutch is reflected in the interior of the Dutch house, demonstrating well-being, modesty and convenience. Dutch country houses look solid, but at the same time cozy. Suitable for families looking for peace and comfort behind a modest facade.
Roman style
The Romanesque style in medieval Europe preceded the Gothic. The term itself appeared in the XII century, when historians found that European architects widely used many elements of the ancient Roman style. The main objects of the architects were monasteries and castles, more reminiscent of fortresses. The appearance of the buildings is full of calm and solemn power. Characteristic features of Romanesque buildings were massive walls, the heaviness and thickness of which were emphasized by narrow window openings and stepped friezes. The main features of the style are circular or semi-circular arches, stone vaults. Facing of the facade is made of bricks, abundance of brick decoration of pediments, friezes, windows and doors. Ceramic tiles are used as roofing. Romanesque buildings fit into the landscape, their compact forms and clear silhouettes repeat the natural relief.
Czech style
The Czech Republic is one of the most cultural and beautiful countries not only in Europe but also in the world. The cultural heritage of the Czech Republic is so vast that it can sometimes be very difficult to simply describe the places where you have been, the Czech architecture still makes the greatest contribution to the cultural heritage. The architecture of this country has been created for centuries. The Czech style of cottages has common features with European and German styles. The Czech-style house is characterized by regular geometric shapes, high multi-pitched roofs covered with tiles, sometimes with straw, the plinth is made of natural stone, and arched windows and doors are often used. A squat house in the Czech style will fit perfectly into the landscape and will not stand out in the landscape.
The construction of houses from sawn timber for finishing has been curtailed in favor of construction profiled timber houses and log houses. The construction of houses using this technology is no longer carried out.
