With the house located around 25 miles away from Moscow, Russia, in a spectacular pine-tree area, the clients did not want any radical changes or developments aside from the addition of a spa complex. Speaking about the spa design process, Oleg Klodt said: “Regarding the architecture, I believe that it is my most successful example of a small architecture shape. The minimalist extension is a contrast to the traditional Russian country house style; there is a swimming pool connected to the pastoral scenery through huge open screens. We were able to create an Alpine-style spa in a central Russian landscape.”  Following the brief to focus on children’s comfort, we also built a playground and garden.
