Fake English mansions in Russia
To live in a classic-looking English mansion not far from Moscow is a dream nurtured by the hard work of realtors in the capital. People often come to us with a desire to give their architectural project the image of a good old house. What exactly gives away the new architecture, despite the desire to style it like an old mansion?
A mansion near Moscow.
Overly contrasting color of the decorative elements. Instead of volumetric shaping accepted in architecture the facade changes into a flat painting.

English Mansion
Soft contrast of all parts of the building. Decorative elements are the same tone as the walls.
|
The basement belt is clearly marked out and exaggerated.
|
The basement belt is often not highlighted in any way, even if there is a high basement.
|
White plastic windows. Livid bleachers in decors, an unpleasant chromatic contrast.
|
The calm warm whiteness of the window frames. Paintings in the tone of the facade or other colors.
|
Windows without partitions make large rectangular gaps in the facade of the building.
|
Partitions in the windows. Double frames are often used to add depth.
|
Bright and contrasting roof colors to the facade. Selecting the color of the roof is done in isolation from everything else.
|
Deaf colors of roofs damp from time, gray-red with freckles tones of unpainted shingles.
|
New-looking. Overly sharp and perfectly perpendicular corners of steps, walls, soffits. A pretentious whiteness.
|
Noble dilapidation, skewed, darkened. Worn corners give the building softness and plasticity.
|
Complex facades and contour of the house in plan with a relatively small volume of construction.
|
Simple in plan form of the house in the classic English mansion.
|
Polished granite and marble entrances in the "country" houses.
|
Entrances are devoid of pathos and yet beautiful. Ceramic tiles, pebbles, concrete, gray stones.
