Visiting etk-fashion.com: Boris Uborevich-Borovsky – etk-fashion.com

В беседе Борис Уборевич-Боровский сказал, что Every architect should look for a “new language”. For several decades, the architect and his team have been proving that they have successfully solved this problem. Uborevich-Borovsky was able to find a new language that turned out to be close and understandable to many. Clear lines, color asceticism, glass, unusual forms - this is how the architect “talks” to the world Boris Uborevich-Borovsky is a person who likes to move forward. He likes to study space and carefully handle color. However, we will not tell you everything at once. The classic of minimalism shared his principles in life and design in a conversation with us, and you have a unique opportunity to learn about them.

Principles of the work of Boris Uborevich-Borovsky

Style

— I grew up in MArchI, and this is the school where I came fromConstructivism is the basis of 20th century art. That is why I am closer to, as everyone says now, minimalism. In fact, it is just a modern style in which many architects work. Historical parallels are not very interesting to me, although we have several projects that we have done in a historical style. For example, we created one of the houses in the Moscow region, inspired by the Elagin Palace of Carlo Rossi. But still, it is not my thing. Although knowledge of historical styles is necessary, especially when you study, analyze, when you want to understand how architecture developed over time. I like to move forward, and not look back. It seems to me that we need to come up with something of our own. Maybe I am successful in this, maybe not so much, but in any case, I believe that an architect should look for a new language.Apartment on Vavilova Street.

Price list

We have chosen a specific niche for ourselves.We considered that we are still in high positions, since we have some advantages. We do not scare off the customer with some fabulous price, we are not such stars who can set an unrealistic price tag. But we still believe that we cannot be compared with students who have just started working, and with those who do not yet have sufficient experience. Therefore, our work is estimated at 100 euros per square meter - this is the minimum price. And then we look at the object, the customer, the expected budget. Because an architect earns not only from the project, but also from construction supervision, equipment - there is a lot of different work for an architect.Apartment on Olof Palme Street.

Uniqueness

Our uniqueness is due to the fact that we haveWe have accumulated a lot of experience: we have been working in the field of interior design for 22 years. We know a lot about the use of materials. Now there are a lot of young talented architects who come up with beautiful ideas, but they do not understand how to implement them, because they do not know how to handle materials. And you need to know this thoroughly and deeply, because different things can happen to them. We have done a lot, we know a lot. We always remember the well-known wisdom that an architect matures by the age of 50. Experience is our main advantage. Our second advantage is that we are mainly architects and we think in terms of organizing space. This is sometimes forgotten by both designers and decorators. They believe that the main thing is, for example, color, shape or density of some design. But they forget that there are proportions of the room, elementary ergonomics, according to which a person feels uncomfortable in a narrow corridor, in a room with a low ceiling or with black walls. Studying the space should serve as the main starting point for building an interior. Knowing and understanding color, we do not exploit it so much that it interferes with our projects. A lot of projects, especially in Russia, are made with some dominant color combinations that scare away the consumer. They destroy certain canons. Maybe this is something revolutionary, but it is very difficult to live with. Our careful attitude to color combinations is also an advantage.Apartment on Veskovsky Tupik Street.

The coolest projects

We have made a lot of different objects, but weare not focused only on interior design. We love to do large-scale architecture. Recently, we took part in a competition for the design of the parliamentary center of the Russian Federation. At one time, we built almost all the housing on Khodynka. We won the competition for the atomic energy pavilion on the territory of VDNKh. We helped Olga Sviblova create the Moscow House of Photography, which turned into the "Multimedia Art Museum". This is also our work. My team and I believe that versatility in the work of an architect is right.Manor house in the village of Ozerny. Studio of Boris Uborevich-BorovskyParliamentary Center.

Apartment in Filippovskiy Lane

My favorite project is a small loft onFilippovsky Lane. We were told: "There is no customer yet, no technical specifications either, do whatever you want." It turned out to be one of our best projects. It was completed a long time ago, more than 10 years ago, but it is very unexpected, cozy, comfortable and bright. I think this is a certain milestone in our work. I love this project because it was done in one breath, quickly and inexpensively. It turned out very impressive. We also really liked this experience because the client's influence has both a positive and a negative side. The advantage is that we do our work for the customer, and his attitude, mood, worldview should form the basis of the project. But on the other hand, the client often interferes because he has certain stereotypes and complexes that slow down the development of the project.Apartment on Filippovsky Lane.

Restaurant R18 / 12

We were offered to make a restaurant in the bank building.We created a modern interior with classic elements: chandeliers, framed mirrors, an ivory-colored grand piano. The restaurant has three zones - the main hall with an open kitchen, a veranda that overlooks Kutuzovsky Prospekt and a music and cigar room on the lower level.Restaurant R18/12.

Loft in Zhukovka

There is transparency in this interior:There are practically no doors here, one common space that is free from any styles and preferences. There is glass, white and black colors, simple shapes, there is not a single unnecessary detail. We really like this approach to design. Interior design can mean something. It happens that the interior creates a luxurious aura around the customer, the client becomes like a picture in an expensive frame. Or the interior can emphasize the beauty of the client, without distracting attention to itself. I am a supporter of the second approach, that is, I believe that a person should be beautiful not with his interior, but with himself. And the interior design should be its reflection. One beautiful woman ordered this project for her son. I had a specific idea - beautiful people should not get lost in this interior. That is why there is such asceticism here, a lot of air and space. We have different projects, but they are all made in a recognizable style. I think this is a must. Otherwise, in this service market, and in creativity in general, you can get lost among different trends and opinions. Our projects are different in scope, but very close in content. Over the past 10-15 years, I consider every second project of ours to be successful, there is something to tell about it, because we always invest quite a lot of ideas, thoughts and creative intensity.Loft in Zhukovka.

About me and the team

I have been involved in architecture for over 30 years.Back in the early 90s, I became very interested in interior design. I consider myself an architect of various scales - among my projects there are urban development complexes and country houses. I really like doing interior design, because it is a fairly quick implementation, in which there are few co-authors. This is the difference from large-scale architecture. My team is very good, close-knit, young. 25 people. They are mainly architects - I do not really like working with decorators, because they have a different education, mentality, perception of culture. I am not saying that this is bad. A decorator is a very interesting profession. But I do architectural interiors, I am engaged in the construction of space. I believe that space is a kind of framework for life, to which a person brings some of his details, his color. At the same time, if the person himself is a bright figure, then he looks better precisely against a calm background. Because in a bright interior he can get lost. Design and decoration are needed when there are absolutely not enough means for expression.Penthouse on Mosfilmovskaya Street. Boris Uborevich-Borovsky StudioPenthouse on Mosfilmovskaya Street.

Blitz-poll

— What brands do you prefer? — Мне интересны все современные бренды. Я очень люблю итальянцев, потому что они очень артистичны, в них очень много жизни. Это РOLIFORM, B&B, Molteni. Мы посещаем миланскую выставку, ходим по павильонам и видим много разных брендов, которые отвечают тем запросам, которые мы как архитекторы адресуем мебельным компаниям. Немцы тоже нас радуют. Они очень продуманны, технологично классно сделаны, но в них маловато души. Нам хочется, чтобы мебель и аксессуары дышали каким-то дизайном, какой-то аурой творчества. Я думаю, что итальянцы нам, русским архитекторам и дизайнерам, больше близки по духу. — Какова география ваших услуг? — Я очень привязан к Москве и как архитектор очень много работал на этот город. Мои заказчики — это всё-таки москвичи. Я делаю разные проекты по России — во Владивостоке, в Нижнем Новгороде, в Санкт-Петербурге, в Сочи. Это понятная география, она у многих архитекторов такая. Кстати, Санкт-Петербург — это совсем другая история, чем Москва, с точки зрения восприятия проекта, отношения к дизайну. Я проектировал дома в Испании. Много отношений партнёрских было с японскими, английскими, американскими, канадскими архитекторами. Как правило, с иностранцами отношения выстраиваются так: они хотят создать какой-то проект в Москве, и мы здесь им занимаемся. Что касается серьёзных заграничных проектов, то все понимаем, что рынок архитектурных и дизайнерских услуг в мире переполнен предложениями. А в России есть определённый вакуум, потому что мы ещё только входим в это мировое пространство дизайна. Главное — взаимопонимание с клиентом. Потому что здесь есть заказчики, которые доверяют твоему вкусу, твоим словам. А у многих россиян, которые живут за границей и хотят там что-то построить, возникает языковой барьер — они не могут объяснить дизайнеру-иностранцу, чего они хотят. — Вспомните, пожалуйста, необычный случай из своей практики. — Вообще стройки и реализации идей архитекторов — это минное поле, которое наполнено совершенно непредсказуемыми ситуациями. Мне хочется обо всём этом рассказать — можно выпустить целый многотомник с интересными историями о нашей работе. Могу сказать, что если бы мы делали проекты и просто отдавали их заказчику, то всё было бы гораздо проще. Но мы занимаемся реализацией, и тут начинается самое интересное. Потому что на стройке ты соединяешь очень много людей, сталкиваются разные интересы. Происходит броуновское движение, которое иногда приводит к очень хорошему результату, а иногда к большим потерям. Но у меня таких серьёзных проблем не было. — Какая самая сложная задача перед вами стояла? — В основном все сложные задачки связаны, как ни странно, с водой. Это случаи, когда ты делаешь джакузи, переливные бассейны и так далее. Вода и стекло — это дико сложно. И это приходится много раз переделывать. У меня так было на одном из объектов — мы сделали купель из стекла, через которое вода переливалась. Это должна быть специальная конструкция без винтов, которая держится на силиконе. При этом она должна выдерживать большие нагрузки, особенно в тот момент, когда движется вода. Мы справились с этим, конечно, но путём неимоверных усилий. После таких историй я принял для себя решение не впутываться в сложные ситуации. Проект должен быть комфортным, интересным, но все эти сложные механизмы, такие как вода, перетекающая через стекло, и так далее, приводят к тому, что могут возникнуть непредсказуемые последствия и по деньгам, и по реализации, и просто по жизни этих проектов. Сегодня ты сдал объект и всё хорошо, а через полгода могут быть такие сложности с ним, что надо будет всё переделывать. Ещё оказалось очень сложно работать с тёплыми полами. Дело в том, что мы всё время используем на полах дорогие материалы — укладываем очень красивый мрамор, гранит. Но когда вы монтируете тёплый пол, то вы совершенно не застрахованы от того, что вам не придётся всё это снимать. Сейчас у нас такая ситуация в замечательном пентхаусе на Пироговке, в котором тёплый пол замурован под мраморный пол в ванной. И нам сейчас придётся всё это снимать, потому что пол неправильно был скоммутирован, кто-то его не проверил, и в итоге вся работа насмарку. А это огромные деньги. Поэтому надо быть очень аккуратным, особенно с теми вещами, которые работают скрыто, установлены где-то в бетоне, в стяжках, связаны с электричеством или водой. — Расскажите о своём любимом пространстве в квартире. — Я живу довольно скромно. Так сложилось, и мне это нравится. Всё-таки менталитет русского человека направлен на общение, а оно происходит обычно на кухне. Поэтому именно там мне нравится больше всего. Я люблю готовить и люблю принимать гостей. Гостиная — это, конечно, хорошо: диваны, телевизоры. Но мы, москвичи, больше любим уютную атмосферу. Нам нравятся уединённые уголки в интерьере, где мы можем скрыться от любопытных глаз и посвятить это время себе или своему собеседнику.
