This country house is located in the historic town of Tarusa.
The customer purchased the land with a house on it, built without a project by the previous owner.
The first step of the reconstruction was to add a verandah, a porch and bay window, which allowed to place the dining room there.
Then we built a terrace and added a doorway leading to the garden on the south side.
The structure of the additions is not connected to the main volume of the house.
The new foundations laid at a distance from the old.
The construction of the new part is a light wooden frame, which allowed local builders to finish all the work in one summer season.
The living room is an open multifunctional space with a fireplace and a large area of glazing, creating an atmosphere of traditional Tarusa´s verandah.
Southern terrace is located below ground level in the garden, so we turned a retaining wall into the bench.
Asbestos pipe supporting the roof of the old house was replaced with a round log. Old house was winterized and planked with larch boards.
