Markovo Residence

By Alex Kovachev

Gallery

The concept reinterprets classical palatial architecture through symmetry, monumental proportions, and richly articulated natural stonework. Between the two stately wings, a contemporary volume topped by a reflecting pool introduces a sense of lightness and an unexpected counterpoint to the estate’s classical character.

The palette combines light natural stone and finely moulded architectural details with dark metal frames, wrought iron, and anthracite mansard roofs. Stone paving, the glass ceiling, the pool’s reflective surface, and ornamental landscaping further enrich the project’s material expression.

Materials

Warm cream and ivory tones form the light stone foundation, contrasted by anthracite roofs and near-black metal details. Lush greenery and the turquoise water of the pool introduce natural accents to the restrained classical palette.

Colors

The outdoor furnishings include elegant lounge and dining areas, poolside sun loungers, and relaxation spaces overlooking the formal garden. Inside, the spacious dining room, with its long table and upholstered armchairs, combines contemporary comfort with the estate’s stately character.

Furnishings

Natural light accentuates the sculptural quality of the stone columns, cornices, and balustrades, while the water ceiling above the dining room creates distinctive shimmering reflections. In the evening, architectural lighting defines the façades and gardens, while the reflecting pool and warm interior glow give the estate a striking nighttime presence.

Crafting Atmosphere

The estate conveys a sense of classical grandeur through its symmetrical composition, light natural stone, and richly detailed colonnades, cornices, and balustrades. The two stately wings, formal garden, and central terrace with its reflecting pool create an atmosphere that is both monumental and harmonious.

Atmosphere Through Materials

Light natural stone defines the façades, columns, and decorative elements, giving the architecture a sense of substance and timeless classical elegance. Dark metal frames, wrought iron, and mansard roofs provide a striking graphic contrast, while water features and stone paving enrich the exterior composition.

A New Beginning

Tailored Living

The estate is designed for elegant family living and entertaining, with two symmetrical wings and a clear distinction between social, private, and service areas.
