Cristal House is a private residence of 940 sq.m in the Moscow region, whose architecture reinterprets the Neo-Art Deco aesthetic.
The home’s character is inspired by 1920s New York architecture: strict geometry and a rhythm of verticals and horizontals, achieved through cornices and lesenes on the facade, add a sense of expressiveness. A minimalist facade of white travertine—one of Italy’s most noble architectural stones, quarried in Tivoli—emphasizes the purity of lines, while dark graphite wooden frames and smoky-gray tinted glass create a striking contrast and enhance the home's connection to the surrounding landscape.
The landscape serves as a continuation of the architectural concept: the garden composition, pathways, window views, and lighting solutions are woven into a single narrative. Together, the landscaping and evening illumination cultivate an atmosphere of intimacy, comfort, and a serene life away from the urban bustle.
