This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
Located in the Pushkino district, just outside of Moscow, this house was designed by Russian architect Alexey Ilyin for his and his family’s occupation.
Constructed entirely from wood, the property sits on a rectangular plot and has living spaces across two storeys. The second storey, however, is concealed from both main living spaces at either end running only over the centre of the house, and affording the main social areas double-height ceilings.
