Features of the exterior of a Russian house
The Russian house has a variety of exteriors.

Designer's decision. Construction of houses in the Russian style is in trend today. The interior of a house in the Russian style is always original. In addition, wooden houses are environmentally friendly and retain heat well. Owners of suburban areas often choose the Russian style of houses for a reason - many want to feel a connection with their roots. In his project, designer Alexander Kravtsov tried to link together the achievements of civilization and Russian traditions. The center of the house was a Russian wood-burning stove in the 21st century version. In addition to the traditional wood firebox, it has modern equipment: electric hob and a hood. Niches around the perimeter of the stove are used for storing firewood and kitchen utensils. A small illuminated staircase leads to a cozy lounger.

We approached the selection of a site for building a house with special trepidation - we managed to find perfect place in the Dmitrovsky district: it was decided to build a country house in an ecologically clean area, on a picturesque hillside covered with mixed forests.

Finishing
Inside, the interior is given a special flavor by the open polished wooden walls made of calibrated logs, which, by the way, we left untreated: the customer, in principle, did not want to cover them with any composition, which is due to his ideas about environmental friendliness.
They put it on the floor massive board oak warm shade– resistant to changes in humidity in summer and winter seasons, it also harmonizes perfectly with the walls and supports the rustic design of the house.
But we finished the ceilings with tinted larch. This is a fairly strong material, beautiful in structure and durable: larch does not rot. Only in some rooms we made plasterboard ceilings, which the owners subsequently plan to paint.
For wet areas we chose stretch ceiling– moisture collects on them and dries without leaving marks or affecting the material. And for finishing vertical surfaces they used plasterboard and tiles. By the way, the design of the walls on which the drywall was mounted is based on sliding supports: as you know, a wooden house shrinks and their presence minimizes the risk of deformation.
