An allusive house

July 15, 2019

The architectural and design bureau N&G Ananiev Interiors presents an artistic project in collaboration with Brabbu in NYC.

This is the first project in USA for N&G Ananiev Interiors, and the designers were excited to share this experience and the outcomes.

The founders of the bureau, Nadezhda and George met the owners of this property ten years ago- a couple with four children. The family has Russian origins and visits their homeland from time to time, but now they decided to reinvent the house they bought in 1980s1990s near New York and make it their permanent address.

Everything was built having in mind the main idea of “visual impression and magnificent appeal for the eyes”. It was important to make a statement with expressive walls through bright wallpapers, combine artistic and remarkable furniture and also outstanding and even provocative pieces of art. Speaking of planning - the first floor gathers singular public area, which is a suite of rooms closed in a circle.

On the second floor - a private area. There is one room for each child and a separate outhouse for the guests. The walls remained in the same place - the Ananievs did not move them, but completely cleaned the “stuffing”, leaving only the doors, as the designers found them really beautiful and in conformity with the concept.

The main living room also highlights the walls with beautiful wallpapers from Casamance, while the painting by Ilya Kabakov presents a serene nostalgic scenery in a nature-themed artwork.

Meanwhile the “music lounge” has an amazing merge of bright colors and a playful composition of vintage to modern furniture.

In the «music lounge», one of the main entertainers are mustard-yellow MAYA Armchairs from Brabbu, an intense addition to this living room design. This velvet accent chair has the perfect combination of sensual and delicate forms and due to its fierce color can invoke long and comfort conversations.

Building on What's Already There As this year's LIV Hospitality Design Awards winners settle into the wider conversation, certain patterns become difficult to ignore. Properties built for warm-climate escape recur across the list. Sustainability surfaces less as a stated goal than as a working method. And several of the strongest projects are renovations rather than new builds. Read together, the winners point toward where hospitality design is heading as the year continues. Designed for the Season Several of this year's winners speak directly to the season ahead. Kona Village , on Hawaii's Big Island, reimagines an 81-acre resort around the history of Kaupulehu, led by Greg Warner and Mike McCabe of Walker Warner. The rebuilt property includes 150 traditional guest hale, a new spa, and five restaurants and bars—two of which carry over from the original resort. Rather than a wholesale reinvention, the project reads as a continuation: a property rebuilt around what made the original site significant in the first place.
