Luxury Properties Worldwide

Architecture always reflects its time, and the construction of suburban luxury private homes in this case is no exception. The last decade of the last century was the century of "brick castles". The popular saying "my house is my castle" in those days was often not an exaggeration, but a real guarantee of the survival of the owner of a country residence. High capital fences, armored gates, dumb walls with narrow windows, a minimum of open architectural plans - all this likened the country house of a wealthy man of the nineties to the castle of a medieval feudal lord, in which, if necessary, it was possible to withstand a real siege. And in everyday life, this house fully corresponded to the values of the era: on the one hand, exhibited the owner's prosperity, on the other - did not say anything about his personality.

The new century brought with it new values, a new lifestyle and new approaches to suburban construction. The modern luxury property should be spacious, stylish and comfortable. Must combine functional advantages with aesthetic and should reflect the identity of the owner. It is these tasks that modern customers place before the creators of country villages, giving them much greater freedom than before in architectural and engineering solutions, in the choice of materials and technologies.

So, what it is - a modern luxury property ?

First of all, this is a spacious and comfortable home, which is built not for the demonstration of the success of the owner, but for a comfortable life - himself and his family, often including two or even three generations. The total area of such a villa or appartments usually varies from 250 to 500 m². Interior rooms are designed based on the convenience of everyday life - the benefit of modern technology and materials allow you to create almost any layout. Among the building materials used in suburban housing construction, preference is still given to proven options - rounded logs, solid or glued beams, bricks, ceramic blocks, natural stone and other materials of natural origin. The way in which different materials will be used is determined by the author of the building project, depending on the architectural style chosen by the owner of the house.

The newest building technologies allow to build an expensive country house in almost any style - from rococo to modern, and modern engineering systems will make life in this house comfortable and pleasant no matter what it looks like from the outside. According to observations of many experts, most owners of elite country cottages in the Northwest prefer classical European architecture. Most often as a guide, the traditions of space organization are borrowed in France and Italy, where the design pays close attention to the unity of the internal premises and the harmonious planning of the area around the house. Houses in the style of Alpine "chalets", Finnish wooden houses, half-timbered houses, houses in the spirit of "Scandinavian modern", Canadian eco-houses - the architectural appearance of modern elite cottage settlements can be very diverse.

The modern buyer of luxury property will not only have quality, comfort and elegance, but also individuality and harmony with the surrounding world - and this is practically impossible to achieve if one is guided by a limited set of basic projects. Every corner of nature where a house can be built has its own aura, uniqueness, harmoniously revealed in interaction with the personality of the owner of the house, and this interaction must be taken into account in the design as one of the main criteria of a properly chosen architectural solution.
