This country house really has it alllooks like a medieval castle, and one with a long history. Two floors, a turret and a multi-pitched roof - the cottage project has classic notes, and Gothic influences, and even a bit of Romanesque style. You can and should approach the issue of building your own country house creatively. If you love history, especially the Middle Ages, and find inspiration in any attributes of that time, then this cottage project will definitely suit your taste. Plans are attached, as well as photographs of facades and interiors, which the wealthy owners have not yet had time to move into. We found out the opinion of professionals about this building.
This country cottage has an area of 286square meters was designed under the obvious inspiration of European castles. That is why it looks so massive - the brick finish of the facades is successfully combined with textured stone, and the original architecture of the windows, domed roofs and brutal shutters only enhance the immersive effect. Inside, the interiors tend to be open-plan with vaulted ceilings and wooden beams. Regina Urm, interior designer: - In my opinion, such a cottage is more suitable for middle-aged people who prefer classic interiors designed to last for many years. It seems to me that the house lacks territory and landscaping - it could be a beautiful garden with wrought-iron benches and a pond. It is also unclear why the architect did not provide a porch at the main entrance - it would not be superfluous here.
It is obvious that the owners love to travel, sohow individual architectural elements of this house-castle resemble buildings that can be found in France, Germany, Italy. By adding a moat and a drawbridge here, you can recreate the medieval era in the most authentic way on a tiny plot, without fear of a sudden attack by a neighboring feudal lord. Because he won’t be able to capture it. Violetta Paslar, “Megapolistroy”: - The exterior of this house is impressive! Who doesn’t want to live in a castle? Pure Romanesque style! The huge rounded arches make the house feel even more spacious and bright. But I would like to immediately note that the house is very cold, there is a feeling that there are constant drafts there. I immediately recall novels from the English classics. Perhaps the interior lacks lively and bright colors, paintings, photo wallpapers or drawings on the walls.
The interior and layout of the house are well thought out.On two floors there are four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large living room with an exit to the open veranda. You can immediately imagine how the owners of the house will spend romantic get-togethers with barbecue and delicious wine! In the mentioned round tower, a staircase is hidden, as befits any medieval castle. And in the garage, of course, it will not be possible to organize a parking lot for horses or carriages, but two medium-sized cars will fit there quite well. Regina Urm, interior designer: - The ceiling beams are successfully integrated into the interior, the staircase has beautiful steps and original railings, as well as natural lighting. The style has a slight French classic, but I still want to add a light design of the arches, white stonework and textures on the walls. The presence of a long elongated corridor between the two bedrooms on the first floor, as well as a combined toilet, is confusing. In my opinion, this is not a very good idea. Violetta Paslar, Megapolistroy: - The staircase is magnificent! Cast iron forging (stainless steel) with leaf decor, rounded shapes and natural wood - all this makes it the highlight of this house. But the kitchen is very modest, with a small work area. Apparently, the owners of the house will not cook.
Regina Urm, interior designer:— The interior also lacks textile design and any original details that are simply necessary for a successful composition. Without a designer, it will be difficult for the customers to complete the furnishings and decorative design of the project. The design of the bathrooms looks very good — a combination of porcelain stoneware stylized as marble and small mosaics reminiscent of bronze coins. But I would replace the shower head sticking out of the wall, for example, with a ceiling one. It will also probably be difficult for the owners to independently decorate the attic room on the second floor, it has very dim lighting and a broken structure.
