STUDIO ROSTOVSKII
A House Where Luxury Whisper
Design interior
Behind the solid door of a brick residence, a measured hall reveals itself through symmetry: portal‑like architraves frame the entry and deliver the first read of the interior. Soft, glossy marble veining tempers strict geometry, inviting a slower gait and a quieter voice — the natural register of roughly 5,400 square feet (≈500 sq m) of understated luxury.
The plan is orchestrated like a score. The first level — more than 2,100 square feet (200+ sq m) — is dedicated to daily living and entertaining: a formal dining room seats twenty; a secondary kitchen, tailored to the owner’s pastry hobby, turns out elaborate cakes and confections; and a main family kitchen pairs a marble table with a wine cabinet for weeknight meals beneath the buds of fresh blooms.

The centerpiece is a double‑height living room with a working fireplace and cascades of light dropping from approximately 26 feet (8 m) above. At the heart of the composition, rounded lounge chairs gather around a two‑meter (≈6.5 ft) Paolo Castelli sofa in a calm cream tone. Traditional plasterwork traces the ceiling and continues onto the walls; behind one paneled surface, a discreet door leads to concealed service rooms.
A sculptural stair rises to the private level, its flight lit by Wertmark’s Hilda chandelier — clear glass plates threaded with veins of light. The balustrade pattern, drawn by the architect, was fabricated to order in St. Petersburg.

Upstairs adds another 2,100+ square feet: a mezzanine gallery open to the living room, a chess nook, a generous study for the head of the family, and three bedrooms — for parents, an adult daughter, and a son. Privacy is integral to the concept: each suite includes its own bath and walk‑in dressing. The son’s domain also contains a compact library and study, forming a self‑contained block.
The father’s office occupies about 215 square feet (≈20 sq m): a substantial desk, an extensive library wall, and a disciplined coffered ceiling above. The daughter’s delicate floral bedroom with a sky‑blue headboard and the primary suite with botanical motifs are variations within a single contemporary neoclassical narrative — new chapters in one book.

Evgeny Rostovskii
“This was my ideal commission. From the first visit to move‑in took sixteen months. We began in mid‑2022, yet every idea was realized as drawn: Italian tile, lighting, and furniture arrived on schedule; German fixtures crossed every border; and many elements were crafted locally. I designed all the custom millwork, the stair ornament, and the plaster details to mirror the family’s way of life and character.”
