Despite the fact that architectural trends have recently led to the emergence of a huge number country cottages V modern style, classic houses remain preferred by many private developers. Cottage projects that have all the advantages of modern private housing, and at the same time stylized as noble estate or a rural log house is chosen by lovers of traditional classical architecture, and there are a lot of them nowadays.
The present manor has a number of characteristic features. This is a solid building with a porch located in the center of the main facade and decorated elegant columns. The entrance portico has a two-row colonnade. The roof is symmetrical, with high steep slopes.
Country estate in modern country construction
In an effort to meet the demand for cottages in traditional style, architects develop designs for estates, to one degree or another recreating noble interiors and exteriors. Houses built according to these designs have an expressive appearance, complemented by columns and risalits, as well as glazed verandas, with access to the garden or courtyard. However, instead of courtyard buildings, which were previously built adjacent to the estate itself, modern attached garages are now provided.
Classical estates of past centuries were built mainly as residential one-story houses. Today, most often these are houses, the attic part of which is equipped in the form of a residential attic, with bedrooms, bathrooms and dressing rooms. At the same time, the first floor is a day area in which family life is concentrated. Here (on the ground floor) there is a kitchen with a pantry, a living room with a fireplace, and a veranda with access to the garden.
A special decoration of buildings of this type are balconies, decorated with wooden or metal balustrades with fancy bent elements. In order to emphasize the traditional character of the house it is very important correct application colors of the facade and roof. Warm, light colors of the facade are usually combined with red or bronze ceramic or bitumen tiles.
It is worth noting that now, when designing a manor house, it is necessary to comply with much more stringent rules regarding construction technology. In estate designs, characteristic details and proportions are used, but at the same time, conditions regarding energy efficiency and thermal resistance of structural and finishing materials. In addition, the technology for arranging the roof has become more complex in order to prevent high heat losses through the roofing part of the building structure.
In order for modern estates to meet existing energy efficiency requirements, they are designed in a simpler form, since all kinds of bends and joints of facades are so-called “cold bridges” through which significant heat loss occurs. Visual similarity with manor houses is achieved mainly through the use of well-designed decorative elements.
Today, architects offer options for a harmonious combination of classical architecture and such current solutions, How wide glazing living room with terraced windows. The bedrooms are also widely glazed. And I plan all living spaces with windows facing south or east, so that they receive as much natural light as possible sunlight and warmth. Windows are used with a high degree of tightness and are made from modern materials.
Another common one in modern architecture the solution is the location of technical premises, attached garage and kitchens in the northern part of the house, which increases the level of energy efficiency of the home. Thanks to the use of these and many other architectural tricks, while maintaining the style and image of the estate, comfortable modern cottages are created.

Our life today is a series of rapidly changing events, and we really want to have a home where it will be truly cozy and comfortable. That is why it is necessary to build a house so that it is as comfortable as possible for all family members, and there is everything you can dream of!
The first time you glance at this three-story wooden house with an attic floor, it seems that you are in the 18th century - this Russian estate is so similar, the construction of which can be carried out according to this project, on old mansions Russian nobles.
What are the similarities? First of all, the material used for the construction of this estate is wood, which is traditional for house building in Rus'. Also, pay attention to how the exterior of the estate is decorated - this is a classic example of home decoration by ancient architects!
So, it is worth paying attention to the carved wind boards and skates on the roof of the house. Don’t they make this modern and good house look like the remaining masterpieces of Russian architecture, which are admired by the whole world? But at the same time, the facade of the estate is decorated with big windows, and this is already modern architectural element, which is now in great demand. Yes and skylights on the roof - this is also an architectural find, but from our contemporaries.
The area of the estate is 1000 sq.m., and its dimensions are 25,000 x 26,136 m. Please note that the construction of the estate is possible either from rounded logs or from hand-cut logs. These technologies for wooden house construction are the most environmentally friendly, since in this case the wood is not treated with any toxic substances, but remains a completely natural and natural material.
Then, like the now so popular laminated timber, it contains glue that contains carcinogens that are hazardous to health. Recent studies have shown that glue components can cause lesions nervous system, liver and kidneys (dichloroethane) or irritate mucous membranes (polyvinyl acetate emulsion). It is clear that the concentration of carcinogens will not be maximum, but why risk your health, because such an estate is being built for several generations.
Thus, it is better to choose an environmentally friendly rounded log or manual chopping from the forest natural humidity and be sure that the air in your estate is saturated only with healing wood phytoncides and there are no harmful impurities in it!
Now let's talk about internal layout this estate. The central area of the first floor is a fireplace room, which opens into a winter garden (31.04 sq.m.). The fireplace room is conventionally divided into two target zones - a living room with second light and a dining room. The area of the room is quite large - 102.48 sq.m., and this includes high ceilings second light makes the room look like royal chambers.
Also on the ground floor of the estate there is a study room (32.77 sq.m.) and two identical-sized bedrooms (25.03 sq.m. each). Near each bedroom there is a separate bathroom (7.46 sq.m.), and near one of them there is a wardrobe (4.77 sq.m.). There is also a bathroom (4.77 sq.m.) in the hall (52.06 sq.m.), which you access by passing through the vestibule (10.42 sq.m.). There is also a small wardrobe in the vestibule.
You can enter the estate from three doors, two of which are located on identical-sized terraces (16.2 sq.m. each), planned according to different sides winter garden and one door to a large terrace (52.40 sq.m.), where a table and chairs can easily fit. Such a terrace usually becomes a favorite vacation spot for household members, because it is so nice to listen to birds singing and admire the beauty of the landscape while drinking hot aromatic tea. And, naturally, a kitchen (32.77 sq.m.) is planned on the ground floor, which is a mandatory attribute of any estate.
One of the walls of the estate at the level of the second floor is surrounded by a balcony of an unusual shape (64.99 sq.m.), exits to which are from game room(35.77 sq.m.) and the master bedroom (38.77 sq.m.). Near the game room there is a bedroom (21.38 sq.m.) with a separate bathroom (6.46 sq.m.) and a wardrobe (3.03 sq.m.). There is a separate bathroom (8.88 sq.m.) and a wardrobe (6.14 sq.m.) in the master bedroom.
In the center of the second floor there is a spacious hall (47.0 sq.m.), from which you can enter the recreation room (17.73 sq.m.) and two identical-sized bedrooms (25.07 sq.m. each). There are two adjoining bedrooms small balconies(3.05 sq.m. each), but from the rest room there is access to a balcony with a large area (10.62 sq.m.). Please note that each bedroom is equipped with its own wardrobe (4.77 sq.m. each) and a separate bathroom (7.46 sq.m. each). For household needs, a room such as a laundry room (15.59 sq.m.) is also planned on the second floor.
On the third attic floor At home there is a billiard room (38.86 sq.m.) and a cinema hall (38.86 sq.m.), where all family members can have a good time watching their favorite movies on a huge screen. There is also a lounge room (22.47 sq.m.) and two identical bedrooms (24.83 sq.m. each), each of which is equipped with a separate bathroom (6.51 sq.m. each).

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 made from logs different diameters, laid “butt to crown”.
- Multi-tiered roofs different shapes- “chest”, acute-angled, 4-slope.
- 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 - business card Houses. The porch, platbands, and overhanging edges of the roof are richly decorated with figured elements.
- Open galleries “gulbishcha”, small cozy balconies are 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 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 could give wooden house especially the "fairytale view".
- 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”.
All house designs developed by us in the Russian estate style are accompanied by a full package of architectural and constructive solutions. The attached specification of materials facilitates the work of builders and ensures that the building being constructed complies with the technical plan.
Surely, everyone who has a country plot plans to build on it comfortable home. But here the question immediately arises with the choice of layout and design. If the area of such a plot allows, then it is possible to build large buildings- estates. The estate project can be anything and has its own distinctive features.
What is an estate?
If to the definition of dacha or country house everyone is already used to it, then for many the concept of “estate” evokes a similar definition, but this is not so. The estate is a fairly large park and residential complex. This area is located a large number of commercial and residential buildings.
Features of the estate:
- There are also landscape design. It cannot be said that it is possible to build an estate in any region, since previously they were built only in those areas of the area where there was good landscaping.
- What distinguishes an estate from an ordinary one? country house? Everything is quite simple - the size of the site and the building itself.
- If you look a little deeper into history, such structures were built for nobles or officials close to the rulers; even at that time they amazed with their luxury.
- Fenced areas, green spaces, parks with numerous sculptures, squares and gazebos, green lawns.
You can continue for a very long time. In principle, there were no restrictions either in the choice of building material or in the preference of the area for the construction of the estate.
Very often such buildings were erected in such places:
- Forest areas.
- Steppe meadows.
- Near the pond.
- The area of the estate was very large. They were at least 600 sq.m.
If you want to build a family estate in the form of an estate, then you should initially purchase a country plot, the size of which is at least 50 acres.
Only then will it be possible to correctly and effectively distribute space.
Distinctive features of the appearance of a manor or country estate
The main difference between this structure was and remains its size.
This can take various forms:
- U-shaped.
- Square.
- Rectangular.
- "Hollow Squares"
- "Hollow Rectangles"
The latter are buildings that have a closed design and inside there is a courtyard with a variety of green spaces and comfortable walking paths. Very often they were previously placed there winter gardens or terraces for relaxing, dining or other pastimes.
The design of the estate house has a large entrance, which is separate from the main building; it was designed in classic style.
Namely:
- Huge columns painted in light colors.
- Large massive doors made of different materials.
- Marble or reinforced concrete steps.
Stained glass windows were also installed in the entrance area above the door. Today, such design practically does not occur, since people have become more practical and are not as eager for luxury than the rulers of that time.
Characteristics:
- Windows of this structure can also be of different shapes and sizes. More often, not too large rectangular or square windows were used in the construction of the estate.
- The building could have any number of floors. The structures had both rectilinear and broken shapes. That is, the second floor might not have been around the entire perimeter of the estate.
As roofing material At that time, only environmentally friendly materials were used. This was the tile, which is durable and reliable. It retains heat indoors very well and thus there is a constant temperature regime in the house.
Layout and design of a house in the form of an estate
Estates have always been distinguished by their scale. Residential buildings had big sizes all rooms. The site was originally located outbuildings, which were designed in a similar stylistic direction, as a residential building. Further on there was a garden and park area, in the center of which a building could be seen.
Inside such a structure, everything was correctly planned.
If the house was two-story, then on the ground floor there are:
- Entrance hall, which has a staircase to reach the second floor.
- Large cozy living room.
- The office is also of considerable size.
- Fireplace rooms (there may be more than one).
- Dining areas with large stained glass windows.
- Kitchen (as a rule, only servants could be in it).
- The last rooms used to have an entrance to basement. Nowadays such traditions are not changed, and the entrance to the basement is also constructed from kitchen area. All rooms on the first floor are massive.
The second floor begins with climbing the stairs, it can be:
- Straight.
- Screw.
- Multi-march.
The choice of the type of such construction depended on the project itself. They were decorated using wood, marble, granite or other finishing material.
Currently in the construction of a staircase in a residential two-story house The following materials are used:
- Reinforced concrete.
- Metal.
- Wood.
The steps are made of natural stones: the same marble or granite.
When planning such a design for a staircase structure, it is worth considering that the cost of natural stones is high, and not everyone will be able to afford it.
We can say that this is a dream project:
- But if desired, it is possible to use analogues of such materials and use artificial stones, which in their own way technical properties and characteristics are similar. But their cost is several times lower.
- All the bedrooms are located on the second floor. There can be a very large number of them: bedrooms for each owner, for guests, children's rooms and much more.
- If the residential building had only one floor, then, thanks to the unusual shape (“hollow squares” or “hollow rectangles”), the bedrooms were located at the very end of the house (the back side).
Today everything is more practical. Estates can also have several floors, only the shapes have become more acceptable (square, rectangular).
What were estates built from and modern building materials for their construction?
Estates of that time were built from practical and durable materials:
- Natural stones.
- Clay.
- Concrete solution.
- Priming.
- Wood.
Natural stones were in most cases processed, since it was quite difficult to use their natural form. Clay has long been used in the construction of residential buildings, as it is environmentally friendly pure material, which is particularly durable. Thanks to its properties, it helps maintain a constant temperature in rooms.
The concrete mortar of that time was very durable and was used to construct the walls of the building (masonry joints). Quite often it was used to pour the foundation for a building. At the moment, you can’t do without such a solution. It is used for both foundation and masonry building material. In principle, technology has not changed.
Soil has also been used for a long time. But such construction took too long and every year the technologies for such construction began to become outdated and such materials were replaced by more modern ones.
Wood, as it was used previously, is still used today. Projects of wooden estates are very diverse. All buildings of this type are distinguished by their environmental friendliness and durability. All of them are durable and a large number of estates from past centuries have survived to this day.
At modern construction There are several types of log laying and wood processing itself.
Currently used for construction:
- Profiled timber.
- Rounded timber.
- Untreated log.
The latest version of the material, just like the previous ones, goes through a processing and drying process.
The popularity of buildings in the form of an estate
Project "Russian estate" for last years began to gain great popularity. They are built on almost every suburban area, which has big size. The main role with such a design is landscape design. It is necessary to properly plan the space on the site first. You can adhere to the same planning principles as before, only slightly reduce the scale of construction.
It is worth considering that maintaining estates is quite expensive, since you will definitely need the services of professional gardeners, repairmen, and so on. But this is provided that the house and plot are very large. Even if the scale of the building is not too large, then you can cope with maintaining order yourself.
The Russian estate has become a separate phenomenon in architecture and interior design. And now many owners country houses are trying to reproduce this trend. Let's try to figure out how a Russian estate differs from ordinary mansions, take a little dip into the past and consider the features of such an interior.
The artist Stanislav Zhukovsky is known for his paintings in which he lovingly depicted ancient Russian estates. From his paintings you can study the interiors of houses from the mid-19th to the beginning of the 20th century.
S. Yu. Zhukovsky. Poetry of an old noble house, 1912
S. Yu. Zhukovsky. Large living room in Brasov, 1916
S. Yu. Zhukovsky. Interior of the library of a manor house, 1910s
Let’s immediately decide that we will talk specifically about estates, and not huts, towers and princely palaces. A lot has been said about huts and towers; this is also history, and more ancient. And nowadays only a few can afford to replicate the luxury and royal style of the palaces of Russian princes. And who would decide to reproduce such a style - in modern realities it's hard to imagine.
The Russian tower, as a place of residence for fairly wealthy families, can now be found mainly in ancient cities and villages. Carved platbands, wood as the main material, four small rooms around a solid stove, a veranda - these are the main differences of this structure.
The interior of a Russian hut can now be found in bathhouses; sometimes people who are fond of antiquity build dachas this way. Everything here is simple, rustic, without frills or unnecessary details.
So, having dealt a little with the towers and huts, we move directly to the estate. The name comes from “to plant” or “to plant.” An estate is traditionally understood as a country building, an entire complex, which, in addition to the residential building itself, includes outbuildings and an extensive garden. It is customary to distinguish the following types estates:
- Boyar or merchant estates that began to appear in the 17th century.
- Landowner estates, which remained the main place of residence for wealthy Russians until the beginning of the 20th century, gained particular popularity in the 19th century.
Baron Nikolai Wrangel (brother of Pyotr Wrangel, leader of the White movement) went to the provinces in 1902 to study in detail the features of the estates of the then landowners. This is how he described a traditional estate in his book: “White houses with columns, in the shady thicket of trees; sleepy, mud-smelling ponds with white silhouettes of swans plowing the summer water...”
A white or sometimes blue house in a classical style, columns with Corinthian orders, a maximum of two floors, a wide porch or terrace - such appearance The Russian estate is not outdated even now.
This photo shows the Galsky estate, located in Cherepovets. Now it is a house-museum telling about the life of landowners of the early 19th century.
As for the interior of Russian estates, one should distinguish the merchant style from the later one, created under the influence of European, mainly French trends and closer to modern realities.
These photographs show the house of the merchant Klepikov, located in Surgut. The abundance of textiles is clearly visible, very simple finishing, plank floor, good quality wooden furniture. like this metal bed with springs, we are sure that many of you were still at your grandmother’s in the village. Let us turn again to Baron Wrangel, who described the interior of the estate as follows: “Inside, in the rooms, there are decorous comfortable chairs and armchairs, friendly round tables, sprawling endless sofas, wheezing clocks with a rusty bass chime, and chandeliers, and candlesticks, and sonnets, and screens, and screens, and pipes, pipes ad infinitum.”
The furniture in such an estate was often mismatched - an old chest inherited from his grandfather could sit side by side with a newfangled one. French chair or an English chair, which the owner of the house, at the whim of his wife, purchased during a trip to the city. Traditionally, a Russian estate had a hall for receiving guests and, if the size of the house allowed, balls, as well as an office, which became the owner’s men’s refuge.
This photo shows the interior of an estate built in the village of Mednoe Lake (near St. Petersburg) by architects Elena Barykina and Slava Valoven for collectors antique furniture. Almost all the furnishings are authentic, but there are also modern replicas in this house, created in an antique style.
If you want to recreate the interior of a Russian estate in your home, you should adhere to the following principles:
- A mandatory element will be a wooden floor, possibly parquet or planks.
- The furniture is laconic, preferably made of dark wood, with thin legs.
- Interior doors and the baseboard are white.
- The walls can also be wooden, painted in neutral shades (but preferably snow-white). You can also use antique wallpaper that imitates textiles.
- Tables are round or oval, with beautiful tablecloths, lamps with cozy lampshades and light curtains.
As for the kitchen and bathroom, it is advisable to use tiles here. Doors kitchen cabinets you can leave them wooden or paint them like Gzhel, as in the example we presented.
Separately, it should be mentioned the influence that the Empire style or late classicism, which came from Europe, had on the interior of a Russian estate. Within the framework of the landowner's estate, this direction was called “rural empire”, becoming less pompous and luxurious.
Now some homeowners imagine the style of a Russian estate as a kind of mixture of hut, country, chalet, rustic and modern motifs.
Well, the style of the Russian estate has always been a kind of mixture of different directions, taking a lot from the classics and history of our country. However, if you adhere to the main canons, in the end you should end up with a light interior, not overloaded with furniture, cozy, fresh, quite simple and at the same time truly homely, a real Chekhov’s dacha, described more than once by the classics of Russian literature.
