The city manor of G.A. Karatayeva and I.V. Morozov was built in 1833 by three masters of Moscow architecture. The manor's interior reflects peculiar characteristics of each architect.
A big and complicated restoration has been made for the first time in building's history. The building should have been modernized. The city manor is a cultural heritage site and is under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Performed work
Our company has participated in the overhaul of two buildings of the manor. Works have been carried out during almost four years (step by step).
The peculiarity of this building is that it did not forfeit its unique interiors. "Many original elements were preserved: door panels, window filings, parquet flooring, artificial marble, gilt, beautiful insertions hidden behind panels and coats of paint, alfresco painting work", said Alexei Ochnev, architect of the Main Administration for Service. The idea was to preserve everything, even minute details, to return to the initial look without destroying the spirit of times.
Designed parquet flooring was preserved only in one hall.
We had a task to restore this parquet flooring.
In other halls new parquet fooring was installed. Tiles' patterns were based on remained gragment of parquet flooring and historical drawings.
We participated in elaborating of design sketch of parquet flooring that need to be restored.
