"The Scaly House features shingles on both the facades and the roof, with a textured surface that will naturally weather over time to a silvery gray, allowing the building to integrate with its surrounding environment."
"The house consists of three primary volumes that organize the living spaces: the first contains the kitchen and living room; the second, the master bedroom with a walk-in closet and bathroom; and the third, two children's bedrooms."
"A large window at the end of the hallway visually extends the interior into the surrounding landscape, while the open hallway flows directly into the kitchen-living room area, designed without doors to enhance continuity."
The Scaly House, designed by Alexander Tischler LLC, is located on a waterfront plot in the Tver region. It features textured larch shingles that weather to a silvery gray, mimicking fish scales. The building is oriented north toward the Volga River, with minimal south-facing windows and skylights for natural light. The layout consists of three primary volumes for living spaces, capturing views of the river and garden. A central hallway links these volumes, enhancing continuity and preserving sightlines to the landscape.
