Capital Hills Residence

Moscow Region, Barvikha, Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway, 8th km

In accordance with the outstanding architect's concept, the two main parts of the residence — one terrestrial, the other "floating"— are connected by three streamlined columns. The rooms of the lower tier go partially into the ground. Recreation and entertainment rooms are located on the deepest level, while the living room, dining room, kitchen and outdoor pool are located on the floor above. The ground level houses the main entrance to the building, the library, the guest room, and the children's bedrooms. The sloping glass facades of the first three floors face the forest, and are covered by a sealed roof with protrusions of different widths. The master bedroom with its spacious terrace seems to float above the treetops at a height of 22 meters. The shaft between two concrete columns contains an elevator and a staircase from which you can also see the surrounding area.
