House 01 / za bor Architects
Architects: za bor architects / Arseniy Borisenko, Peter Zaitsev
Location: Moscow, Russia
Principal Use: Residence
Engineer: za bor architects
Structure material: Concrete
Constructed Area: 560 sqm
Project year: 2004-2006
Photographs: Zinur Razutdinov & Peter Zaitsev
The building is located in a historic village close to the center of Moscow. The work was hampered by a small plot and a large number of old trees that had to be maintained.
In the village, houses are fairly close, so the entrance facade has virtually no windows – the main rooms are facing the interior of the site where the two wings of the building form a cozy courtyard.
The premises, are located along the southern facade for maximum direct sunlight.
Above a double height living room, there´s a roof garden. In this garden there is an exit connecting to the corridor on the second floor (bedrooms).
Below, on the first floor we find the public areas (living room, dining room, ancillary buildings), and on the second floor the master’s and children’s bedrooms, and an office.
Skylights on the roof bring natural daylight to the interiors.

What???
architecture is missing. too boring and grey. oh russia? than everything is clear. zabor :D
bad taste
bad exterior … good interior …
i agree with p.yanev….the interior has modern and expensive feeling but the exterior is really poor, it would be much better to paint the house white!!!
rebyata poveselilis :)))
I appreciate the attention to the existing trees and natural daylight. Interiors look well-lit. Certain spatial interrelationships were obviously given special consideration.
However, overall space doesn’t have any new quality beyond those of conventional houses. And exterior materials are obviously poorly chosen.
is that an urinal in the bathroom?…..yikes! not because of the urinal, that’s pretty functional, but because of it’s modern looking approach with a cover lid.
the links are broken in this website, I always end up with another apartment or drawing, http://www.archdaily.com/25943/house-01-za-bor-architects/img_0744/ click for the next image on the thumbnail, and then it is lost.
