MRIIA HOUSE is a private residence in a picturesque location by the river. It is a home for fun and relaxation, playful mornings, and gentle family evenings. It is an idyllic home.

A home where romantic dreams of a perfect house came true.

What do you think is the hardest challenge for a wizard? To fulfill every single wish? To do the impossible? That’s right, but the most difficult thing is to combine all the dreams so that the result looks harmonious, viable and functional.

We had 12 dreams for 267 square meters, and we realized them.

DREAM №1: A MARVELOUS HOUSE
A sweet childhood dream – a fairy-tale house on the bank of a picturesque river. Away from the city, in the midst of pristine nature, away from the hustle and bustle. Who hasn’t dreamed of such a place?

So, to make the house look interesting and non-trivial, as if from movies about magical houses with all sorts of wonders inside, we decided to build it from two combined forms: a corten steel volume and a rectangular brick block.

The top is corrosion-resistant corten steel. The form is diluted by vertical openings with screens on the windows with a die-cut mesh, which adds monolithicity to the metal form from the outside and contributes to sun protection inside the house.

Below is a rectangular brick block with huge panoramic windows and access to the terrace.

"WE WANTED TO COMBINE TWO STRICT GEOMETRIC FORMS IN ONE OBJECT IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEIR BRUTALISM, WHEN MERGED, WOULD GIVE RISE TO AN INDESCRIBABLY GENTLE DANCE OF FORMS AND MEANINGS"

DREAM №2: AN OPEN TERRACE
The large windows of the house open onto a terrace enclosed by glass and a movable pergola on top to protect from the sun and wind.

It’s a great place to do morning yoga or have tea in the evening. You’re in the midst of nature, but also in comfort at the same time.

DREAM №3: A GARAGE WITH A FEATURE
But when you go down the stairs, past the flowers and trees, you find yourself at an unusual garage.

This is not just a concrete monolith, but a real work of art, as it is decorated with an amazing vintage stained-glass window, the continuation of which we see on the windows of the main building.

Thus, the two buildings are connected not only by a path, but also by a common aesthetic and history.

DREAM №4: VINTAGE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the house is the extraordinary view from the panoramic windows and the authentic vintage stained glass windows. It’s not just a beautiful thing, but a real cultural artifact that we saved from oblivion.
The fact is that this stained-glass window had been decorating the facade of the local house of culture for many decades. When the building was privatized, the stained glass was dismantled. It seemed to have disappeared forever. But we found it on an online marketplace, bought it, restored it, and returned it to its historical homeland.
The stained-glass window itself is made in an unusual technique, from cast glass, 4 centimeters thick. It is a real artistic artifact and cultural heritage that was almost lost in the backyards.

DREAM №5: A MAGICAL FIREPLACE
And here’s another wonder of the living room – an unusually aesthetic custom-made fireplace. It boldly hangs from the second floor, attracting attention, in the foreground of the sliding system.
This curiosity is reminiscent of the fairy-tale times of Anderson or the Brothers Grimm, and perfectly lulls you into a magical evening.

The fireplace here is more for mood and enjoyment, it almost does not perform the function of heating, because for this purpose, more innovative devices are installed in the dream house.

DREAM №6: PERFECT MICROCLIMATE
MRIIA HAUSE is one of our most technologically advanced projects, especially when it comes to climate control. It has a perfect ventilation and humidification system, plus a passive cooling/heating system and ducted air conditioning.
Underfloor heating and walls/cold ceilings – this combination creates an optimal microclimate without the drafts usually caused by air conditioning.

Thanks to the heating, the exquisite porcelain stoneware floor and walls are always warm and pleasant to the touch, so the bright MAKHNO carpets are just a decorative touch.

DREAM №7: VENETIAN GLASS
Once upon a time, the future customers of this beautiful house saw them at one of the European sales and immediately fell in love, so, of course, they received special attention in the dream house.
We are talking about chandeliers made of genuine Venetian glass, which now adorn different corners of the house. You meet them in the living room, see them on the second floor, and turn to the master bedroom.
In addition to the Venetian glass, the bedroom is pleasing to the eye with a vintage chest of drawers, views from the panoramic windows, and a wardrobe made of porcelain stoneware that matches the floor.

DREAM №8: AN INTERESTING WINDOW
The panoramic window in the shower is another interesting feature. It’s made in such a way that its transparency gradually blurs from top to bottom, creating a blurred effect somewhere at the neck level. This preserves the feeling of being in the midst of nature, but also protected from prying eyes.
