Reminiscent ancient dwellings Russian merchants or nobility. Some settle on buildings of a simpler nature, smaller in size and without any special architectural tricks. Modern developers have no desire to imitate the housing of ordinary peasants with small windows and one room and a vestibule.
Exterior of a house in Russian style
Houses in the Russian style, built by modern builders, are more reminiscent of buildings from ancient times from the outside. The Russian style is visible in them, thanks to architectural and constructive techniques perfected over centuries, and the unique aesthetic and constructive qualities of wood. In this style, elements of carvings and other decorations are widely visible. The presence of wooden shutters and platbands distinguishes Russian-style houses. A common technique in the construction of such buildings is the construction of towers with decorations and windows. Such housing is built spacious and roomy, having one or two floors. Wide, like the Slavic soul, the houses are built taking into account the fact that several families can live in them.
Interior decoration
Russian-style houses will still be different from the past. In old, not very rich houses, it was not customary to divide the house into many bedrooms. In old times important rooms a spacious upper room and a vestibule were considered. IN big room there was an impressive antique stove with a deck, which occupied a third of the room. Children and old people slept on the stove bed. At the corners of the stove were installed wooden poles, which served to protect the furnace from destruction. The pillars served as support for ceiling beams. These beams divide the hut into the female half and the red corner. The owners slept on wooden bed right there, behind the screen. Other household members also had to sleep in the same room with the owners. For modern residents, such overnight accommodation is not at all acceptable.
However, unplastered logs of the walls and ceiling will resemble a old hut. If you add rough plank floors and matching furnishings, you can create an antique design. The main attribute in the large room was strong and big table in the middle of the room. Wide benches were installed on both sides of him, capable of placing the entire family behind him. Required condition The Russian hut had a corner with images. Moreover, the richer the family was, the more images there were in the “red” corner. The modern resident does not really like the equipment of such a corner. He also doesn’t really like the huge Russian stove, on the sunbed of which no one will sleep anyway. In addition, we are not used to heating such a stove, much less cooking food in it.

Positive reviews for Terem houses
An important feature of tower houses is their construction from wood. This material is environmentally friendly, which is important for modern residents. Judging by the reviews of the tower house, it is pleasant to breathe and sleep in such housing. In such a monastery a person feels healthier, he is not ambushed allergic diseases. The ideal environment created by a wooden hut brings oxygen balance, cleanliness and required humidity air. Most modern air conditioner with the latest functions, purification and cooling cannot be compared with the natural climate of a wooden tower.
The fact that a wooden tower looks very beautiful is undeniable. The carved facade attracts with its unusualness, making you want to take a photo against its background. Beautiful wooden windows can't compare with plastic structures. Door from natural wood looks good and reliable. Reviews of the houses of the Terem company are very flattering, due to their warmth and coziness, as well as their relatively inexpensive cost. However, much depends on the specific construction team. Before ordering and signing the contract, it is also recommended to thoroughly study the issue: what you want, the cost of materials and work, the equipment of the house, etc. This way you will save your time and be able to ask the right questions in time.
Minuses
Despite the beauty and environmental friendliness of a wooden house, it still has shortcomings. Wooden house must stand, its complete shrinkage takes about 3 years, although you can move in after six months. Along with shrinkage, wood has a tendency to rise. Such fluctuations complicate interior decoration including styling tiles and etc.
Attractive reviews of wooden houses are not so convincing when it comes to treating wood against rot and termites. Where has the environmental cleanliness gone? After all, a log tower should be constantly maintained, treating the outside with special resins at least once every 2 years. Otherwise, the beautiful tower will simply turn black from rain and snow. Experts recommend regular inspections of your home. If small dark dots appear, they are the initial signs of mold and another treatment is required.
In addition to rotting, in wooden houses you can encounter the problem of cracking. Therefore, all cracks that appear should be covered up. special compounds. Wooden tower requires ongoing care. An important disadvantage is flammability. Experts say it is possible to impregnate wood special treatments that reduce fire hazard. But take a piece of log soaked in this non-flammable solution and throw it into the fire. How effective it is is up to you to decide.
Modern residents
No matter how much modern builders want to completely reproduce the exterior and interior decoration huts in the Russian style, they will not succeed completely. And there are many reasons for this. Thanks to the availability modern materials, somewhere, but they will apply. Moreover, rough, untreated floor boards and unplastered walls and ceilings will not appeal to everyone. We cannot live without a modern one, which, however, can be hidden. Modern residents are not accustomed to living in a hut without amenities, including a bathtub and washstand.
In our catalog, house designs in the Russian estate style occupy place of honor. 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 classic Russian manor houses, the second includes ethnic stylizations such as “fairy-tale mansions”.
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 new look, while maintaining all the charm of a wooden log house.
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 (“falling”). 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.
Our country is rich forest resources, which led to the widespread use of lumber in construction. This material has a number of advantages, such as manufacturability, ease of processing, and a positive effect on human health. Individual project estate, designed by a professional architect in the Russian style and implemented by highly qualified craftsmen, will organically fit into.
The lower level of the building is often a multifunctional structure, which is also the base. Here, in addition to the garage box, there is a shower, a bathroom and a real bathhouse or sauna.
Currently, there is an increased interest in traditional Russian architecture in our country. Original volumetric-spatial solutions are embodied in buildings reminiscent of ancient merchant or noble mansions. Individual and standard projects wooden estates are becoming increasingly popular among representatives of almost all social groups.
Architectural bureaus offer many options, ranging from inexpensive low-budget buildings to luxury buildings. , which is quite enough to accommodate the following premises on the first floor:
- living room with a working fireplace made of natural stone;
- a large dining room next to the kitchen, which is equipped with everything necessary;

Movement between floors takes place via internal staircases specially designed for this purpose. The steps are made of hardwood and treated with a special wear-resistant colorless varnish. The base of the staircase is made of rolled metal with extensive use of electric arc welding, which gives it high mechanical strength. At the same time, the supporting structure is installed secretly and is not visible from the outside.
Foundation and foundation of estates
A country house made in the traditional Russian style is characterized by solidity and reliability. This is expressed in the use of one of the most durable modern building materials for the lower level - monolithic reinforced concrete. To accurately follow the chosen architectural concept and create an organic look, natural stone is used for cladding the foundation.
Combination of natural wood and wild stone gives the building special charm. At the same time, the materials used, while maintaining authenticity, were subjected to serious processing using innovative technologies. This made it possible to give the raw materials a more perfect form, adapted for construction work.
Cast together with walls and ceilings. All elements of the structure are reinforced with steel or fiberglass rods. Monolithic design has high mechanical strength and resistance to external influences. To protect the base from moisture contained in the adjacent soil masses, a set of waterproofing measures is carried out.
To reduce heat loss through monolithic walls they are carried out using extruded polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam. The use of materials can significantly increase the energy efficiency of a building and significantly reduce the costs of its maintenance in general and heating of suburban housing in particular.
Materials for building a log house
Russian architects were famous for their skill and ability to build architectural ensembles from wood. Multi-tiered buildings with complex transitions consist of several simple log buildings combined into a single structure. As the main building material For country house logs that have been processed using special equipment are used.
During the rounding process, the material is given the correct geometric shape, which greatly simplifies the work of builders and appearance buildings. Freshly sawn trees are used as raw materials. coniferous species pine or cedar. Wood of the first type is more accessible to the general consumer, primarily in terms of cost.
