The utmost laconic outline of the country house and intensive development of its facade interact with each other in a contrasting manner. Probably, that is why this country house is so attractive. The archetype of its construction is simple and clear. And, on the contrary, in the details, the country house is complicated and designed for scrutiniz- ing. As a whole, the building looks as if a bigger wooden cube was put on a smaller metal one. Windows are ar- ranged both in the plane of the metal facade layer and in the plane of the wooden one. In the result, there are bay windows and cozy loggias in interior. The exterior is designed with the help of the same technique by the means of bal- conies. They are both pulled from facade, forming light metallic boxes, and built in, forming empty openings. The inte- rior space of the country house is complicated as well. In the center of the cube, there is a staircase with plenty of lev- els and separate premises. Some of them have hovering bridges; others are represented as balconies above the guest area, which occupies the whole ground floor. Almost every room has additional sublevels in the form of podiums or floor embedment in the front of the lowered window. Also, there is a tall sleeping ledge in one of the children’s rooms.
