The estate, in the usual modern man understanding of this word, is associated primarily with the noble class. According to the dictionary of V.I. Dalia, estate- "the master's house in the village with all the tending, a garden, a vegetable garden and so on." For most of us, images of Peterhof, Kuskov, Pavlovsk, Arkhangelsk and other country royal residences and houses of the large noble aristocracy immediately come to mind. But the etymology of the word gives us a broader understanding of it. In the old days, there were a lot of synonyms for the word estate, which had a similar meaning - estate, estate, estate, estate. All of them come from the root - usad, which has the meaning of a designated place, a designated area, a place where they were seated, but to a greater extent - the meaning of habitable, developed.
Currently, interest in the estate not only as a monument of history and culture has become actualized. The very phenomenon of “estate culture” is gradually becoming a reality of modern life.
Now among the wealthiest part of our fellow citizens there has been a departure from the stereotypes of the 90s; standard cottages on Rublyovka are going out of fashion. The concept of a historical estate is becoming increasingly popular.
The development trend of the suburban real estate market confirms changes in psychology and perception by the elite country house: more attention began to be paid to the size of the territory and its landscape arrangement, the choice of architectural style and the harmonious combination of buildings with the surrounding nature. The concept of family, surname and “family nest” is becoming increasingly valuable; a need is being formed to have one’s own history, one’s own home, not only as a place of residence, but also as a kind of symbolic concept.

The estate is simple and aristocratic

The Russian estate has become a separate phenomenon in architecture and interior design. And now many owners country houses are trying to reproduce this direction. 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

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 is difficult 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 of estates:

1. Boyar or merchant estates that began to appear in the 17th century.
2. 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 ponds smelling of mud 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 - this appearance of a 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 early XIX 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. You can clearly see the abundance of textiles, very simple decoration, plank floors, good quality wooden furniture. We are sure that many of you have found such a metal bed with springs 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 tubes, tubes ad infinitum.”

The furniture in such an estate was often mismatched - an old chest inherited from the grandfather could sit next to a newfangled French chair or an English armchair, 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 Copper Lake (near St. Petersburg) by architects Elena Barykina and Slava Valoven for collectors of 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:

1. A mandatory element will be a wooden floor, possibly parquet or planks.
2. The furniture is laconic, preferably made of dark wood, with thin legs.
3. Interior doors and the baseboard are white.
4. The walls can also be wooden, painted in neutral shades (but preferably snow-white). You can also use antique wallpaper that imitates textiles.
5. 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.

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 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 assembled from logs of different diameters, laid “butt to top”.
• Multi-tiered roofs of various shapes - “chest”, acute-angled, 4-pitch.
• 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 a 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.

What is an estate in the understanding of modern people? This is, first of all, the privilege of the noble class. IN AND. Dahl in his dictionary gave a good definition: an estate is “a version of a manor’s house in a village, having all the amenities, a garden, a vegetable garden and others.” Many of us associate the image of the estate with Arkhangelsk, Kuskovo, Peterhof, Pavlovsky.

Modern trends dictate how society perceives an estate not only as an architectural cultural monument, but also as a popular modern look private properties.
