Nestled in the historic village of Nikolina Gora, just outside Moscow, this 230 m² house is surrounded by towering trees and fragrant lilac bushes, seamlessly blending into the creative heritage of its storied surroundings — once home to writers, architects, and artists. Originally built in the late 1990s with materials available at the time.

This school seamlessly integrates into a ravine surrounded by a Mediterranean pine forest, using nature as its primary classroom. Built with exposed clay and timber, it reveals its structure as part of the learning experience, free from cladding or superfluous details. A green roof regulates temperature and blends the building into its surroundings...

The goal of this project was not to increase square footage or add amenities as is often the case in a remodel. Instead, the desire was to create a thoughtfully desired home with just enough space for the needs of the client. No more no less. An in-kind trade so to speak for the 1950s brick house that sat on the site.
