The owner of this 1,300 sqm suburban home near Moscow is a successful businesswoman and CEO of a large company, who values her time immensely. The project design by Point Design Studio, finalized during the initial stages, remained virtually unchanged throughout the process, with every idea executed to perfection.
The homeowner’s primary request was for an interior that wasn’t overly classic yet avoided being excessively trendy—something timeless with subtle references to Art Deco. Custom design solutions were welcomed but without extravagance.During the concept phase, I focused on form, architecture, and noble, natural materials. The house’s original structure allowed for a beautiful layout with grand axes and sufficient ceiling heights in the rooms. My main emphasis was on architectural plasticity, with recurring elements appearing in nearly all spaces to create a cohesive design narrative.
One of the key features of the new layout is its axial orientation. The main axis runs from the entrance through the enfilade of smaller rooms to the grand staircase hall and culminates in the living room. Along this axis are symmetrically placed entrances to the cloakroom, study, guest bathroom, and an additional entrance to the kitchen. The ground floor also includes the kitchen, dining area, study, wardrobe, and utility rooms.
The concept combines the elegant luxury of French Art Deco with the minimalism of ancient villas in a contemporary interpretation. I drew inspiration from original interiors of past centuries.Taking into account the house’s architecture and structural features, I reimagined the interior with a classical foundation. Plaster elements were used to create an abstract order system that visually unifies the spaces on the ground floor.
The staircase hall boasts large architectural volumes with walls entirely clad in travertine. Initially, the space had slight asymmetry, which I corrected by designing two additional half-columns aligned with the existing structural supports. These reflect in a large mirrored panel, creating the illusion of symmetry.
The staircase itself is monumental, with stone steps and metal railings. Initially, the upper landing blocked a window, so the staircase was completely redesigned. To achieve its elegant curved shape, the floor slabs were cut back, and their edges were enclosed in drywall. A cascade of Bocci hand-blown glass pendants fills the height of the space. The marble floor features a custom-designed geometric pattern, and a center table with a geometric base, designed specifically for this project, completes the hall.
The home features a monochromatic palette. I chose a muted sandy tone as the base color, unifying the travertine, Jura marble, and oak veneer on the ground floor. In the master bedroom, the palette softens to pond-like hues, complemented by a Rosso Levante marble fireplace in deep burgundy.In the bedroom, decorative wood panels behind the bed feature botanical print wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries, adding a unique touch.
The furniture selection follows the principle of layering to ensure timelessness. Beds, sofas, tables, and dining chairs are sourced from renowned global manufacturers, while built-in furniture and custom pieces, including bedside tables, bars, consoles, and coffee tables, were crafted locally based on designer's thinking.
In this project, as an architect, it was important for me to work with architectural forms, create a beautiful layout, use noble materials, and design custom furniture based on my sketches. I consider the staircase hall to be the most striking feature, designed to deliver a true wow effect. I believe the travertine columns, large mirrors, marble carpet based on my sketches, two-story stained-glass windows, and a chandelier spanning the entire height of the staircase achieve this goal beautifully.
