Four friends built for themselves a house in the countryside. Each of them has got his individual space and can use a common area in the center. After long reflections one of the clients decided that the English style for interiors was more related to his feelings about the space he needs. He asked to have an interior design with high quality materials, wooden panels and laconic furniture. The details of cornices, panels, special elements (fireplace, cabinet base for TV-set, bookshelf between stairs and living room) required a careful design. A special attention was dedicated to the design of the arch-shaped bookshelves in the library, which divide the space into different zones and hide the chimney rising from the ground floor.
