Arbat 14. “Haunted House” by Prince Obolensky

Features of the project:

A good country house is a place that will not only become a place for temporary and periodic outings, but can also serve as a permanent home. Especially when we are talking about such a large building as a house 12 by 14 meters. In fact, a country cottage of this size is even more suitable for permanent residence than for short-term living.

However, you need to understand that when it comes to long-term living, the requirements for the quality of construction are much more serious. In addition to the fact that it must be well built, it must also be cozy and comfortable. This leads to another problem - the problem of proper planning.

A high-quality house design 12 by 14 meters is what can solve this problem at its root. Even buildings of a sufficiently large size will be far from the most comfortable for the life of even one person - not to mention large numbers - if the design is unsuccessful. Therefore, it is very important to take the choice of project seriously. Moreover, a high-quality project provides the following number of advantages:

Arbat 14. “Haunted House” by Prince Obolensky

On the site of the building at 14 Arbat in Moscow, even before the Great Patriotic War, there stood the house of Prince Obolensky with a prominent six-column portico, known among the old-timers of that time as the “Haunted House.”

It was made, like most of the Arbat buildings of that time, from logs and boards, on top of which plaster was applied, on which Empire decorations were fixed.

Unfortunately, during the Nazi air raid of 1941, the house, like the nearby Vakhtangov Theater, was destroyed. The cultural building was restored, but hands did not reach the famous Arbat house.

What was so interesting about this house?

Moscow photographers often depicted its beauty and unusualness on their postcards.

The artist Mikhail Germashev also captured the building in his painting “Arbat”: the work, dating from 1912-1914, represents the Moscow city landscape of that time.

The property belonged to Prince Obolensky, who served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was in charge of the main archive of this department.

Mikhail Andreevich collected letters, as well as various chronicles and relics related to the history of Russia during the Middle Ages. The historian and archivist published the “Collection of Prince Obolensky” from 1838 to 1859, of which only 12 issues were published.

In addition to Obolensky himself, another famous archivist, Vukol Undolsky, also lived in the house.

Vukol Mikhailovich became famous both as a collector of ancient Russian manuscripts and as an excellent systematizer of bibliographic research.

The house on Arbat, 14 is also notable for the fact that within its walls there was a famous portrait of Alexander Pushkin, written by the famous artist Vasily Tropinin and dating back to 1827. The precious relic was first shown to the public (photographed for a postcard) only in 1860.

The portrait of the poet in a dressing gown was commissioned by his friend S.A. Sobolevsky, who served in the department of the same Obolensky. Sergei Alexandrovich joked that Pushkin himself ordered the painting and presented it as a surprise, accompanied by various farces.

In 1909, the painting from Obolensky’s house was transferred to the museum.

Before the revolution of 1917, the property was sold to the merchant Goberman, but the new owner did not have time to inhabit it - the Soviet state expropriated the building.

Obolensky’s property on Arbat is also associated with mystical rumors associated with the presence of evil spirits there. It was because of this that Muscovites called the estate “The Haunted House.”

Notoriety, meanwhile, did not prevent the house from being rented out: for some time the railway magnate Mr. Meck and the venerable Prince Lev Golitsyn lived here.

Right next to the house on Arbat, 14, where there is now a fenced public garden, the foundation of the house in which the famous commander Alexander Suvorov was born and raised should have been preserved in the ground. Unfortunately, no memorial plaques have been installed on this occasion.

Facilitation of construction.

The higher the quality of the project, the easier it is for builders to follow it and for the customer to monitor the progress of the work. Thanks to this, you can often save quite a lot of time and nerves.

Also, even such a seemingly large building may have a problem of lack of living space. Not a single country house is immune from this, including a 12 by 14 meter cottage. The reason is quite simple - quite a large amount of the house’s territory is spent on walls, partitions, utility rooms and storage rooms. However, for a high-quality project, this problem is easily solved through the use of terraces, balconies, and in some cases, basement floors. The main thing is that the customer wants to increase the total living area of ​​the house.

Exterior view of a residential building

Project Features

An original feature of the project is a certain ratio of the length and depth of the house plan. In this project it approaches two. This means that the house is elongated and is perfect for construction on a non-standard plot. But even if the plot is wide enough, an elongated project allows you to organize, for example, a playground for children or an entrance to the garage next to the house. We should also not forget that the law prohibits the construction of a house closer than 3 m from the edge of the site in case of passage of special equipment.

House facades

Room layout

For such a project, the layout of living rooms and utility rooms becomes especially important. This project uses modern planning solutions that ensure comfort and full functionality of the home.

Room layout

The main entrance leads through a corridor into a hall with an area of ​​more than 16 sq.m. The hall, which can serve as a living room, is adjacent to the kitchen, the area of ​​which (7.75 sq. m.) optimally correlates with the total footage of the house (96.42 sq. m.). To visually expand the volume, the corridor-hall-kitchen section is made without doors. The area of ​​the three living rooms varies from 12.48 to 13.06 square meters. m. The boiler room with a separate entrance allows you to service the heating “from the yard.” The house also includes a small office, storage room and bathroom.

Layout of premises with overall and internal dimensions

Explication (name) of premises

To optimize construction costs, the project used a strip reinforced concrete foundation that can withstand significant loads with relatively low material costs. The facade is finished with beautiful facing bricks. Metal-plastic windows will retain heat in winter and provide natural ventilation in summer. The roof combines elegance and efficiency.

For reference, a few words about technical solutions:

• The house is made of brick
• Foundation: strip reinforced concrete
• Metal roofing
• Facade finishing - facing brick
• Metal-plastic windows

Square:

• Total area: 96.42m2
• Living area: 54.67m2
• Construction area: 120m2

Description of the layout of a one-story house 8x14

The layout of the house is a successful combination of combining the kitchen with the living room, which gives a visual expansion of the area and allows you to expand both the area of ​​the kitchen and, accordingly, the living room. The living room is equipped with a fireplace that fits well into it, which will allow you to spend long winter evenings on the sofa contemplating the crackling firewood in it. The house has three independent rooms of 11 to 12 square meters each, which can be used as bedrooms and children's rooms. All of them are conveniently located in different parts of the house, which allows you to separate the bedroom and children's rooms, as well as allocate one room for a study or an additional bedroom. The bathroom is paired and can be accessed directly from the kitchen, which is very convenient when leaving any room in the house.

8x14 house layout. Option B.

The windows from the living room overlook the veranda and the courtyard, which allows you to constantly enjoy nature and, if necessary, keep an eye on the children playing in the yard. Since the 8x14 house design is Finnish, a Finnish sauna is also required. The entrance to the sauna is provided through the shower room. Competent planning of the location of the premises made it possible to completely dispense with corridors. This is especially important for relatively small houses such as this one, where every heated square meter is used efficiently. An important advantage for families with small children will be the absence of stairs, which will significantly reduce the risk of injury.

8x14 house layout. Option D

The disadvantages of the layout include a small boiler room without a separate entrance and bathrooms located throughout the house, which leads to the need to have a large length of pipes.
