Projects of private houses such as estates. House in the style of a noble estate - nuances and features

The estate, in the usual modern man understanding of this word, is associated primarily with the noble class. According to the dictionary of V.I. Dalia, estate- "the master's house in the village with all the tending, a garden, a vegetable garden and so on." For most of us, images of Peterhof, Kuskov, Pavlovsk, Arkhangelsk and other country royal residences and houses of the large noble aristocracy immediately come to mind. But the etymology of the word gives us a broader understanding of it. In the old days, there were a lot of synonyms for the word estate, which had a similar meaning - estate, estate, estate, estate. All of them come from the root - usad, which has the meaning of a designated place, a designated area, a place where they were seated, but in to a greater extent- the meaning of habitable, mastered.
Currently, interest in the estate not only as a monument of history and culture has become actualized. The phenomenon itself" estate culture"is gradually becoming a reality of modern life.
Now among the wealthiest part of our fellow citizens there has been a departure from the stereotypes of the 90s; standard cottages on Rublyovka are going out of fashion. The concept of a historical estate is becoming increasingly popular.
The development trend of the country real estate market confirms changes in the psychology and perception of the country house by the elite: more attention has been paid to the size of the territory and its landscape arrangement, the choice of architectural style and harmonious combination buildings with surrounding nature. All great value acquires the concept of family, surname and “family nest”, the need to have one’s own history, one’s own home is formed, not only as a place of residence, but also as a kind of symbolic concept.

The estate is simple and aristocratic

House projects series "Russian estate" Parthenon companies fully comply with this laconic definition. The architecture of the buildings, with all the apparent simplicity of its forms, impresses with its variety of proportions, variations in styles and corresponding decorative design. The internal layout of each project is thought out in every detail, which implies a comfortable life for both the occupants of the house and the guests.

The appearance of the mansion impresses with its power and solemnity. The color scheme of the facade decoration is strict, however, the building’s unusual light-colored base and the same window frames, the contour of the cornices and the corner curbs prevent the building from being heavy and gloomy. Various windows give a special charm to the house. different shapes: arched, rectangular, round mansard. The staircase portal and balcony with a classic balustrade fit harmoniously into the overall style of the building. The internal layout matches the external form. The premises on all floors are spacious, conveniently located for ordinary life home owners and guests. The presence of a swimming pool, sauna and gym implies a special style and culture of life. Special feeling The interior staircases are very beautifully shaped, as well as the soft oval lines of the terrace and balconies.

The project is characterized by amazing elegance. The classic proportions of the building acquired sophistication thanks to elements of the Art Nouveau style in the design of the windows. The color scheme of the building's facade and window frames is the same, which is very important for a complete feeling of lightness and harmony. The interior space is designed very comfortably not only for the home owners to live in, but also for receiving guests. The Art Nouveau style, set in the exterior design of the building, is very successfully introduced inside the room by the shape of the staircase and hall. Also a very important part of the architectural design of the mansion in the “Russian estate” style are the open terraces on two floors of the building.

Beautiful example of a classic Russian country estate house. The power, elegance, sophistication of the decorative and color design of the building suggest a very high culture the lives of its inhabitants. The interior layout is well thought out. Very important elements The architectural solution is represented by mirrored bay windows: on the left side of the first floor there is a recreation room, and on the right side there is a living room on the first floor and a library on the second floor. The project is also very attractive due to the presence of a swimming pool with access to an open veranda.

Our country is rich in forest resources, which has led to the widespread use of lumber in construction. This material has whole line advantages such as manufacturability, ease of processing, positive impact on human health. An individual estate project, completed by a professional architect in the Russian style and implemented by highly qualified craftsmen, will organically fit into.

The lower level of the building is often a multifunctional structure, which is also the base. Here, in addition to the garage box, there is a shower, toilet and real bathhouse or sauna.

Currently, there is an increased interest in traditional Russian architecture in our country. Original volumetric-spatial solutions are embodied in buildings reminiscent of ancient merchant or noble mansions. Individual and standard designs of wooden estates are becoming increasingly popular among representatives of almost all social groups.

Architectural bureaus offer many options, ranging from inexpensive low-budget buildings to luxury buildings. , which is quite enough to accommodate the following premises on the ground floor:

living room with a working fireplace made of natural stone;
a large dining room next to the kitchen, which is equipped with everything necessary;
bathroom with jacuzzi, shower and other modern plumbing equipment.

The second floor is intended for work and rest, it provides:

bedrooms for good sleep;
children's room or any other room for rest and relaxation;
additional bathroom so you don't have to constantly go downstairs.

For the convenience of permanent and temporary residents, this level has a well-equipped bathroom and a convenient toilet. Inward sloping walls with specially designed skylights give the rooms on the second floor a special charm. This design approach allows for the fullest use of the entire internal volume of the building with the minimum possible total height of the house.

Foundation and foundation of estates

A country house made in the traditional Russian style is characterized by solidity and reliability. This is expressed in the use of one of the most durable modern building materials for the lower level - monolithic reinforced concrete. To accurately follow the chosen architectural concept and create an organic look, natural stone is used for cladding the foundation.

The combination of natural wood and wild stone gives the building a special charm. At the same time, the materials used, while maintaining authenticity, were subjected to serious processing using innovative technologies. This made it possible to give the raw materials a more perfect form, adapted for construction work.

Cast together with walls and ceilings. All elements of the structure are reinforced with steel or fiberglass rods. The monolithic structure has high mechanical strength and resistance to external influences. To protect the base from moisture contained in the adjacent soil masses, a set of waterproofing measures is carried out.

To reduce heat loss through monolithic walls, they are made using extruded polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam. The use of materials can significantly increase the energy efficiency of the building and significantly reduce the costs of its maintenance in general and heating suburban housing in particular.

Materials for building a log house

Russian architects were famous for their skill and ability to build architectural ensembles made of wood. Multi-tiered buildings with complex transitions consist of several simple log buildings combined into a single structure. As the main building material For a country house, logs that have been processed using special equipment are used.

During the rounding process, the material is given the correct geometric shape, which greatly simplifies the work of builders and the appearance of the building. The raw materials used are logs of freshly sawn coniferous trees such as pine or cedar. Wood of the first type is more accessible to the general consumer, primarily in terms of cost.

The best characteristics are found in wood that grows in the northern regions of Siberia, Karelia and Pomerania. When choosing a material for building a country house, you should never skimp on its quality. It is recommended to have a qualified technician inspect the rounded logs offered by suppliers. The forest must meet the requirements of national and international quality standards.

Despite the fact that architectural trends are behind Lately led to the emergence of a huge number of country cottages in a modern style; classic houses remain the preference of many private developers. Cottage projects that have all the advantages of modern private housing, and at the same time stylized as a noble estate or a rural log house, are chosen by lovers of traditional classical architecture, and there are many of them nowadays.

The present manor has a number of characteristic features. This is a solid building with a porch located in the center of the main facade and decorated with elegant columns. The entrance portico has a two-row colonnade. The roof is symmetrical, with high steep slopes.

Country estate in modern country construction

In an effort to meet the demand for cottages in traditional style, architects develop designs for estates, to one degree or another recreating noble interiors and exteriors. Houses built according to these designs have an expressive appearance, complemented by columns and risalits, as well as glazed verandas with access to the garden or courtyard. However, instead of courtyard buildings, which were previously built adjacent to the estate itself, modern attached garages are now provided.

Classical estates of past centuries were built mainly as residential one-story houses. Today, most often these are houses, the attic part of which is equipped in the form of a residential attic, with bedrooms, bathrooms and dressing rooms. At the same time, the first floor is a day area in which family life is concentrated. Here (on the ground floor) there is a kitchen with a pantry, a living room with a fireplace, and a veranda with access to the garden.

A special decoration of buildings of this type are balconies, decorated with wooden or metal balustrades with fancy bent elements. In order to emphasize traditional character at home is very important correct application colors of the facade and roof. Warm, light colors of the facade are usually combined with red or bronze ceramic or bitumen tiles.

It is worth noting that now, when designing a manor house, it is necessary to comply with much more stringent rules regarding construction technology. In estate projects, characteristic details and proportions are used, but at the same time, conditions regarding energy efficiency and thermal resistance of structural and finishing materials are met. In addition, the technology for arranging the roof has become more complex in order to prevent high heat losses through the roofing part of the building structure.

To modern estates meet existing energy efficiency requirements, they are designed in a simpler form, since all kinds of bends and joints of facades are so-called “cold bridges” through which significant heat loss occurs. Visual similarity with manor houses is achieved mainly through the use of well-designed decorative elements.

Today, architects offer options for the harmonious combination of classical architecture and such current solutions as wide glazing of the living room with terrace windows. The bedrooms are also widely glazed. And I plan all living spaces with windows facing south or east, so that they receive as much natural light as possible sunlight and warmth. Windows are used with a high degree of tightness and are made from modern materials.

Another common one in modern architecture The solution is the location of technical rooms, an attached garage and a kitchen in the northern part of the house, which increases the level of energy efficiency of the home. Thanks to the use of these and many other architectural tricks, while maintaining the style and image of the estate, comfortable modern cottages are created.

In our catalog, house designs in the Russian estate style take pride of place. This is explained by the growing interest in log housing construction, and logically leads to the revival of half-forgotten elements of ancient Russian architecture. Our ancestors knew how to create fabulous masterpieces from wood.

Despite the absolute external dissimilarity of each house in the catalog, they can still be divided into two large groups. One includes projects of classic Russian manor houses, the second includes ethnic stylizations such as “fairy-tale mansions”.

Russian style estate project

This concept usually includes a traditional, often one-story, residential building, or rather, a complex of wooden buildings along with a bathhouse, an outbuilding, a fence and a gate, forming an entire “yard.” IN modern projects Several techniques of traditional Russian architecture are used.

Log houses can be assembled from logs of different diameters, laid “butt to top”.
Multi-tiered roofs of various shapes - “chest”, acute-angled, 4-pitch.
The gables are made from the same logs as the walls - there is a feeling that they stand “by themselves”, without any support (“males”).
Characteristic are peculiar “bay windows” - half of a hexagonal “drum” protruding beyond the wall.
Wood carving - business card Houses. The porch, platbands, and overhanging edges of the roof are richly decorated with figured elements.
Open galleries“gulbishchas”, small cozy balconies - supported on carved wooden columns.

A characteristic feature of Russian houses is individuality. Each of them is unique, expressing the taste and wealth of the owners of the house. IN modern interpretation a cottage can be built from brick in the Russian style, or with combined stone walls. The combination of materials of different textures gives the building a new look, while maintaining all the charm of a wooden frame.

Traditional house in Russian Terem style

The first wave of interest in medieval Russian architecture arose in the 19th century, and on its crest arose “ pseudo-Russian style" Of the house designs of Russian architects of that period, the works of Ivan Ropet, who built many “mansions” with multi-tiered turrets and carved patterns, have survived. Among the techniques of the 18th century, two stand out that could give wooden house especially the "fairytale view".

Russian chalet is a building with a log house that expands upward due to a gradual increase in the output of crowns (“fall”). They formed a cornice on which the roof was laid, the overhangs of which could be significantly increased. Nowadays this is a rare technique; modern houses of this type are rather a stylization on the theme of a chalet.
A log house “in the oglo” is a connection of logs in the corners of a log house with the remainder (remember the house of “Baba Yaga”). The project of a tower in the Old Russian style in our catalog includes such rare elements: figured columns with carvings, a hexagonal glazed “lantern”.

All house designs developed by us in the Russian estate style are accompanied by a full package of architectural and constructive solutions. The attached specification of materials facilitates the work of builders and ensures that the building being constructed complies with the technical plan.

IN last years Private houses built in the style of old Russian estates are becoming 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 style noble estate, but this is absolutely not true. If the customer wishes, even a small cottage can be made with elements of the Russian historical architectural style. The result will be a very beautiful, compact mini-estate. Such a house does not have to be huge in area and three-story.

In modern cottage villages, manor houses are increasingly appearing. They are radically different from neighboring buildings built in modern styles. The cottage-estate is a classic; this 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 your children and grandchildren, choose this particular architectural style. Even after many years, such a cottage will look luxurious.

It is in manor houses that that 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 truly have an amazing atmosphere. It will be truly “homey” and incredibly cozy. Why, among the abundance of architectural styles, does this one seem so familiar to many people? Probably genetic memory is triggered. 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, we need to deal with historical facts, understand what Russian estates were like, what are their distinctive features. Absolutely all ancient 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 pace of life, of which we are all so tired in modern times. Therefore, ancient estates are imbued with the spirit of calm and regularity. If you want to make your home truly cozy, where you can truly relax from the hustle and bustle, choose this architectural style.

As a rule, the word “estate” meant not just one house, but a whole complex of buildings that were built in the same style, equally decorating the facades with stucco and columns. Such houses took a long time to build, but “for centuries.” That is why many have survived to this day, collapsing only for the reasons that they are not restored or are left completely abandoned and uninhabited. This “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 efficiently, so that children or grandchildren would not have to do major renovation estates.

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. Main feature What made such estates so special was that they fit perfectly into the surrounding landscape. A luxurious garden with many paths for walking was always created around the house, and cozy gazebos were certainly built. Only the best craftsmen were trusted to carry out facade work during the construction of the estate. Probably everyone knows that there are no two completely identical noble estates. They are all 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 always decorated with stucco molding, columns and statues. Sometimes there was even too much decoration, which is why general form the estate turned out to be quite pompous. But in those days this was considered the norm and a sign that the owner was rich and belonged to a high class. Based on the façade of the estate they assessed financial well-being its owner. That is why 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 create 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 lightweight and do not weigh down the walls. Previously, an architect could “make a name for himself” during the construction of an estate. Glory o luxury home spread very quickly not only throughout the region, but throughout Russia and even beyond its borders. That is why the architects put their souls into their creations; they thought through not only the appearance of the estate, but also helped the owners with interior design. In those days, the decoration of rooms was taken seriously; furniture and decor were made to order from the best masters. 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; each time the architect came up with a unique facade, making it unique thanks to the abundance of decorative elements. Redevelopment of the premises was also carried out 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 permanent residence, they were adapted precisely for these purposes. Stables were definitely built nearby, barnyard, greenhouses for growing vegetables and fruits. Pheasant gardens were set up in the garden, where ornamental birds were kept.
A little later, estates that were built “in the European style” became fashionable. Their main feature was the presence of huge summer greenhouses and winter gardens.
There were also urban estates that differed from country estates. They occupied a smaller area, so the owners invested even more money 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. The smaller one contained rooms for servants, as well as various utility rooms and a kitchen. It was indecent for landowners to walk along the same corridors with servants. Therefore, in estates, almost all rooms were made through. That is, they had three doors, through one of them you could get into a long corridor, and through the other two into neighboring rooms. The owners walked “through wide doors,” that is, they very rarely used corridors, but simply walked through all the rooms to get to the right one. The servants walked along the corridors so as not to disturb the owners. A huge room was always allocated on the ground floor, making it a room for holding balls and banquets.

Also, in the noble estate, an entire room was allocated for a library. Of course, these features of noble estates are not relevant for modern times. Now there is absolutely no need to divide the house into half for the “master” and half for the servants. Also, no one is making huge ballrooms now. Instead, on the ground floor you can make a spacious living room with a fireplace, which can be combined with a dining room.

How to build your own house in the style of a noble estate:

First of all, we need to develop individual project future cottage or choose your favorite from the existing ones.
It is very important to choose the right plot of 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 ancient and passed on to you by inheritance. But to create such an effect, you need 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 façade 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 estates you like, but never completely copy the façade decoration. Wood carving will look luxurious. Don’t worry that the wood will crack and turn black in a few years, there is great amount special antifungal impregnations, as well as varnishes that will protect the wood from moisture on long years, while leaving its beauty open. Make decorations from stucco thanks to modern materials It's very simple now. For this, ready-made patterns and foam products are used, which are glued into in the right place, they require mandatory finishing. 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 must have a fireplace made of stone in order to create a unique coziness and emphasize the architectural style you have chosen.
A house built in the style of a noble estate should look ancient, but at the same time it can and should have modern air conditioning, plumbing, lighting and other systems.
A manor house must be very cozy and warm, for this you need to use modern thermal insulation materials.

Take care not only of the appearance of the cottage, but also of the interior of the rooms. Agree, it will be quite strange if the outside of the house looks like old manor, and inside it is decorated in a minimalist, hi-tech or loft style. The interior should not contain any signs of “technogenic civilization”. Be responsible when choosing 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 an antique style. Chandeliers must be luxurious and massive in a “noble” style. Lamps with candle-shaped bulbs are ideal. The best elements the decor will be all kinds of antique items.
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 thick threads.
Please pay attention Special attention arrangement of the area around your estate. There must be a gazebo in the yard, 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 lighting of the yard, install lanterns that will look like antique ones. If there is a small pond in the yard, you can throw a bridge across it with wrought iron railings.
Take care to create a beautiful landscape design. To emphasize the style of an old noble estate, be sure to plant ornamental bushes along the paths, which will need to be trimmed regularly, giving them a neat shape.
