It is fashionable to collect houses created by world famous architects

The world -famous architects are increasingly designing private houses, but in these works they seek to preserve their corporate identity, write "Vedomosti" .

Records of architects creating private houses include famous celebrities with loud projects: Rem Kolkhas (library in Seattle), Daniel Libeskind (project of the Freedom Tower on the site of the blown up of the WTC in New York), Richard Mayer (Museum of the Altar of the World in Rome). The number of wealthy people who perceive the work of famous architects as an object of collecting is growing; It strengthens the trend and construction boom in the main capitals, where many architects with a world -famous man have managed to create at least one luxury condominium. Developers actively advertised projects, they became symbols of status for wealthy investors, real estate buyers learned the names of their authors.

Daniel Libeskind, the creator of the Jewish Museum in Berlin, believes that private houses are difficult to design, especially if you want to make them in your company style, worked out at large facilities. "The co -scolding of a person and addressing to a specific owner is important here, says Libeskind, now working on his first residential building, which will be built in Connecticut.? This is not a museum, this is a house where a certain privacy is needed, and the design of the design should meet the lifestyle of the client."

The last project of the ascending star? British David Ajee, creating cultural institutions exquisite in architecture in Europe and the USA (for example, the Denver Museum of Modern Art), which opened in October),? Private House Sunken House. The black box set among the brick houses of the beginning of the 19th century in the east of London is noteworthy. "This is a piece of goods,? Not without pride, the owner of the mansion Ed Reeve.? You can’t buy this in the store." On the ground floor there are a dining room and a kitchen, which goes to a wooden platform, on the second? The bedroom and the office, the top floor with a window of 1.5 × 5 m serves simultaneously a photomaster and living room. The cost of the house together with the land amounted to 700 million pounds.

In turn, Zaha Hadid, in whose portfolio the layout of new areas of Singapore and Istanbul, a skyscraper in Dubai and the Art Museum in Copenhagen, designed several mansions: a house in Russia and villas in the United States and Switzerland. The Swiss customer Hadid Adrian Brach expects to spend more than 10 million euros on two buildings in Kyusnyt? This green town near the lake near Zurich is called the gold coast due to real estate price. According to him, architects will receive only a small part of this money. The houses will be made in the characteristic plastic for Hadid, when the surfaces smoothly pass into each other, and the terraces and other landscape objects seem to “flows” from the building. The living area of ​​each of the villas will be about 930 sq.m. Brothers hopes to settle in one of them and sell the second, helping 10-20 million euros.

The owners consider such houses outstanding expensive works of art, but the validity of investments in them has not been proven. "It should take 20-30 years to be evaluated in the light of the history of architecture,"? Says James Zemaitis, the head of the design of the XX century, the Sotheby's auction house. It is difficult to sell a house created by a famous author, real estate agents warn: a masterpiece can be too unusual. For example, seven apartments created according to the project of the British Minimalist Archimalist John Pruson were sold with great difficulty. The premises in the prestigious London district Notting Hill, which cost 2 million pounds each, could not find the owners for almost two years, until the interiors were processed.
