Lashmanova Design

We continue to share the story of this project in a carefully reconstructed historic home.
The primary bathroom was created from what was originally a guest bedroom, allowing us to introduce something quite rare for a bathroom: large windows and a fully glazed private veranda overlooking the forest. As a result, the space is filled with natural light and offers an uninterrupted connection to the surrounding landscape, transforming everyday rituals into an experience immersed in nature.

Reconstruction of an old house dating from the early–mid 20th century.
At first, the house was planned for demolition. Later, the idea shifted toward a light renovation and temporary living. What began as a simple cosmetic update eventually evolved into a full-scale reconstruction: the roof was replaced, the foundation and walls were reinforced, all windows were changed, the interior layout was completely redesigned, and the electrical, heating, and plumbing systems were fully renewed. Terraces were added around the perimeter of the house, and the attic level was transformed into a fully developed third floor.

The design process for this project began in February 2022. It took approximately one year, during which we were also awaiting the completion of the building construction.
Nearly another year was dedicated to replacing all the windows at the height of the 50th floor. This required obtaining multiple approvals and could only be carried out during the warm season.
The total area of the penthouse is 310 m², with approximately 60 m² allocated to dressing rooms. One of the key tasks for our bureau was to accommodate a maximum volume of storage while preserving the concept of an art-driven living space.
We developed an enfilade layout, where the entire private zone is connected through large sliding doors, allowing spaces to flow seamlessly from one to another.
At the planning stage, both functionality and design are fully conceived and embedded. What you see is the result of the creative work of our bureau and a large team of collaborators, with whom we have shared decades of close partnership.
Over 10–15 years of working together, we have effectively become one extended family.
