Located in Tverskaya, Russia, architect Peter Kostelov has completed a riverside summer house which overlooks the Volga river. Called Wood Patchwork House, the building has a surface divided into rectangles and clad in an assortment of wooden slats painted in different colours.
The house was built as a second home – dacha in Russian – and has three storeys to allow guests the best view of the river from their window. It contains a kitchen, dining room, guest rooms and bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, a studio, two wardrobe rooms and two verandas.
The interior carries on the theme of slatted wood, and the living spaces are arranged around a central wooden staircase.
