About styles

The most popular among buyers today are country houses and cottages, made in the classical style and the style of the Alpine chalet. Of course, these styles are somewhat adapted to modern realities, but the main features characteristic of these styles have remained.

• Houses built in the classical style are characterized by clear lines, clear shapes, and a comfortable layout. Such houses are best suited for the concept of «family nest» or «my house is my castle.»
  Such houses, as a rule, look impressive, serious and thorough. They fit well into the landscape. The material for such houses is stone and wood — traditional materials for building houses.
  Today’s classical-style houses are not as ambitious as the houses of the nobility of the 19th century, they most often no longer have columns and stucco, but spacious rooms, arched large windows and natural materials still find a lot of admirers.
• Some variation of the classic style is the alpine chalet style. The Alpine Chalet is a two-story cottage in which the living quarters are located on the second floor.
  The residential floor of a “real” chalet should be made of wood, and the lower service floor should be made of stone, but modern chalets, as a rule, are built of timber, and the lower floor is only lined with stone. The roof of chalet-style houses is sloping, there is an attic under the roof, it is very desirable to have a veranda, which can be separated from the main room by a glass wall. In the living room, the chalet style is evidenced by a fireplace and interior decoration with natural materials. According to psychologists, the chalet style is best suited for cheerful and friendly people who promote a healthy lifestyle.
• In addition to these familiar styles, there are also quite exotic, but quickly becoming fashionable.
  For example, the loft style is recognizable by the house, most of all resembling a box with huge windows and high ceilings.
• Art Nouveau style is distinguished by complex architectural forms, complex layout of the premises and the surrounding landscape.

• And the house in a minimalist style is distinguished by the absence of any decorations in principle and light natural materials.
