"You see a person, talk to them for a few minutes and already imagine the script you can offer for their home. Design is like a movie where we are the directors. I would call this movie “In a whisper”. The plot is about functional orderliness with the elegance of clean lines." — shares Olga Bogdanova
The building is located on the hill in the picturesque place next to the river. Large windows and the terrace on the second-floor level unite inner and outer spaces. The bureau got involved in the project on the building stage where they could implement some layout changes to make it more functional.
The emotional center of the building is the roomy atrium where the big living room with the fireplace locates. The vertical construction of the fireplace, more than 6 meters high, is lined with travertine. This solution emphasizes the height of the space. Saint-Germain sofa system from the new Poliform collection shows the sensitivity of our world. The large-scale pendant by Santa & Cole works just the same way. The color and intensity of its light immerse us in the sunset atmosphere.
The main kitchen and the dining room are united. The large table in the dining room was designed by Bogdanova Bureau. It has a wave-shaped steel base and a stone tabletop which is divided into two equal parts. It offers two options on how to use the table. When there are only family members at the table, they occupy one part, and the other can be decorated with candles, a vase with flowers, or other decorative stuff that creates a mood. The table does not feel outrageous and empty this way. When the house is full of guests, the whole tabletop becomes functional.

There are two living rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and a guest bedroom with a bathroom on the first floor. On the second floor we placed the master bedroom and the children’s room
The second living room is the home cinema with a large two-level sofa.
We pay special attention to the children’s room. It is the sacred place where the client's children are growing up and forming memories. We divided the room into playing space and sleeping space to make kids switch between activities and the rest easily.
The whole interior was created with natural colors and surfaces like stone, light oak and microcement. Sometimes you can meet deep red objects there. We offered them as a good wine for dinner.
"We aimed to create an interior where the main accents are people and signs of their life. Like a jacket on the sofa back, an apple in the vase, or a glass of wine on the marble kitchen island." — shared Olga Bogdanova, the architect.

“When I first entered this space, my heart stopped. I was astounded - the view from the windows was incredible. It is a real pleasure to glaze at the sunset at the end of the work day in the walls of my favorite office with a team of like-minded people”, says Olga Bogdnaova. An architect is like an artist, the space around - it is a blank piece of paper, a canvas for creativity. To reach the effect of passe-partout, walls and ceiling were painted in French gray color. It is a neutral and comfortable for the eyes font which shows what is important.
The space of the office is an open space in which are connected workspaces, meeting area, and an open kitchen. The office of the main architect takes up a humble space and is cut off from the main zone only by glass doors. This is also the logic for sustainable luxury because the real treasure of a modern leader is the team from which there is no need to hide in an office behind closed doors.
