One-story houses in Russian style. Russian style houses are unusual and beautiful from the outside

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 classical Russians manor houses, in the second - ethnic stylizations such as “fairy-tale tower”.

Russian style estate project

This concept usually includes a traditional, often one-story, residential building, or rather, a complex wooden buildings together with a bathhouse, an outbuilding, a fence and a gate, forming a whole “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- a business card of the house. The porch, platbands, and overhanging edges of the roof are richly decorated with figured elements.
• Open galleries "gulbishcha", 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 a 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 the “pseudo-Russian style” arose on its crest. 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 can give a wooden house a particularly “fairy-tale look.”

• 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”.
