Ignoring my previous post about the disappearance of color from modern life, you’d be forgiven if you thought most of these photos were shot in black and white…
Voice Of Mountains By NOVU Classic Interior
“Our project is a private house with an area of 700 m², located in the Moscow region. The interior idea was born from the first dialogue with the clients. To the question, ‘Where do you feel truly happy?’ the answer came instantly: ‘Our place of power is the mountains, the forest, and nature.’ This feeling became the starting point for the entire concept.
We created a house where nature seems to have entered inside and become part of the space:
-
- In the entrance hall, guests are greeted by a rock composition of “rocks and a waterfall”;
- In the corridor — a corner of the forest;
- In the kitchen — a rock complemented by “stalactite” lamps;
- In the living room — a chandelier-waterfall and a striking corner bio-fireplace against the panoramic window;
- In one of the bathrooms — the Moon, and in the children’s bathroom — the story of its conquest;
- The main corridor leading to the master zone is decorated with the phases of the Moon.
Each zone of this house reflects nature and its magic — water, stone, forest, sky, and cosmos.
Thus, the interior became not just a living space but a true universe of feelings and symbols, where the clients can return to their main source of power — nature.”
Is it the Russian winters? The local construction standards? Is that why the walls in every plan I see from the region has these thick wall?

Okay Mark, many fascinating design elements and some of the textural surfaces are unique, but for me would be like living in a modern museum, office building or a sterile white room in a hospital. Except for the greenery and few wood elements; no life, just a cold and clammy feeling. I guess people would help and a pair of Siberian Huskies* bounding through the house would be great.
*No , not the dogs, two husky Siberian men!
