This home was conceived for a couple who travel widely, explore art and bespoke design with curiosity, and respond vividly to everything new — yet remain deeply attached to their home and to each other. It was these sentiments and interests that inspired architects Tatiana Alenina and Vladimir Krasilnikov throughout the project.
