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

In our catalog, projects of houses in the Russian estate style take pride of place. This is due to 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.

With the absolute external dissimilarity of each house in the catalog, they can still be divided into two large groups. One includes the projects of classical Russians manor houses, in the second - ethnic stylizations of the "fairy-tale tower" type.

The project of the estate in the Russian style

This concept usually includes a traditional, more 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 "compound". IN modern projects several techniques of traditional Russian architecture are used.

• Log cabins can be recruited from logs of different diameters, laid "butt to the top".
• Multi-tiered roofs of various shapes - "chest", acute-angled, 4-pitched.
• The pediments are recruited from the same logs as the walls - there is a feeling that they stand "on their own", without any support ("males").
• Peculiar "bay windows" are characteristic - a half of a hexagonal "drum" protruding beyond the wall.
• wood carving- visiting card of the house. The porch, architraves, hanging edges of the roof are richly decorated with figured elements.
• Open galleries "gullishcha", small cozy balconies- supported on carved wooden columns.

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

Traditional house in Russian tower style

The first wave of interest in medieval Russian architecture rose in the 19th century, on its crest a “pseudo-Russian style” arose. Of the projects of houses of Russian architects of that period, the works of Ivan Ropet, who built many "towers" with multi-tiered turrets and carved patterns, have been preserved. Among the techniques of the 18th century, two stand out that can give a wooden house a particularly "fabulous look".

• Russian chalet - a building with a log cabin expanding upward due to a gradual increase in the release of crowns ("fall"). They formed a cornice on which a roof was laid, the overhangs of which could be significantly increased. Now this is a rare technique, modern houses of this type are more like a stylization on the theme of a chalet.
• Log house "in the oglo" - the connection of logs in the corners of the log house with the rest (remember the house of the "Baba Yaga"). The project of the tower in the old Russian style in our catalog includes such rare elements: figured columns with carvings, a hexagonal glazed "lantern".
