Architecture Brew #39

Greetings Hive!

Hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Here we are again to showcase our weekly curation of celebrated posts from the Architecture+Design community as we collectively pursue elevating architecture and design with the Hive social blockchain.

We are your dedicated community covering digital content about Architecture, Interior Design, Furniture Design, Urban Design, and Environmental Design.

In today's report, we're delighted to present to you our 39th Edition where our top-featured publications highlight an interesting seaside estate in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, a sophisticated Japanese model house, and a mountain chapel in Southern Bulgaria.

Don't forget to also check out our "Runner-Up" entries for their awesome publications.

Our Champions for the Week:

(from September 13 - 19, 2021)

The first impression of the Zastava estate is a positive cozy place, which is protected from the steppe winds by its walls, which are made of huge blocks carved from rakushnyak stone and lovingly built by the owner himself. Several dogs ran out to meet us - the owner of the base warned us about them. Later it turned out that 8 of them live there :)

The living room had a mixture of western and Japanese styles. In the foreground, we can see an elevated Tatami area for dining. This style is not common in Japanese homes these days but are very popular at Izakayas ( Japanese dining bars). The wealthier Japanese usually go for this type of set up. Most westerners will find it hard to sit here and may be uncomfortable while eating as your legs will be in a folded position. In the background we can see a more western style of design with couches and a TV.

But in fact, I never saw this church. The young woman had shown me the palace in which they lived, the extremely expensive, baroque furnishings of the house, the expensive paintings specially commissioned by a particular artist, not to mention the carpets and furniture, also a special and luxurious order. In the years I knew her, this church never got ready.
