To begin with let's deal with the definition: we believe that the "alcove" is called the bed, hidden canopy. In fact, this word comes from the Arabic «alqubba», which translates as "tent", and for many centuries been used as a definition of the room designed for meetings and discussions.

It is this understanding put architects Vasiliy Butenko and Sergey Makhno in the name of his home, calling it "Black Sea alcove."Built opposite the sea in the Crimean mountains (Ukraine), an alcove is a haven for quiet friendly parties.Divided into several zones transparent and opaque screens, replace all interior walls, alcove allows guests to break into companies with different interests.

Note floors, created from materials of different textures.That is what allows you to feel the autonomy of each of the zones, if the screen is removed or pushed aside.Namely, the mobility of the screens enables constantly changing alcove plan to use it every time a new way.

Decorated in retro style, the house still does not look outdated and unfashionable.This is primarily due to the overall coherence of all parts of its interior, and also because being in the house, you feel like being inside a large room.

Now a bit about colors.And its architects narrowed to only three primary colors - dark brown, off-white (some of the elements of false ceilings) and orange (pieces of furniture and illuminated niches).It is this almost monochrome allows anyone who is feeling cozy alcove in the Black Sea, and thus relaxed and safe.

As they say themselves architects, initially they planned to make a house devoid of doors, with walls made of transparent glass, the sun, penetrating through the internal screens, covered all the "little room" of the alcove.But the realities of life did not allow them to implement the planned, but still it did not stop them to create one of the most original buildings for parties, among presented on our website.
