Obydensky №1 club house is the most private residence in the finest part of Ostozhenka. It is located in the lane of the same name, deep within the block, in the quietest part of one of Moscow’s most prestigious neighborhoods. Obydensky №1 is easily integrated into the historic streetscape, which is defined primarily by Art Nouveau, eclectic, and classical architecture. It feels as though the house has stood here for a very long time. This effect was achieved through the use of the same architectural styles, scale, proportions, and details.
The six-storey building and three villas along Obydensky lane form a unified architectural ensemble. The buildings are brought together by a shared style — a contemporary interpretation of classicism. Architectural lighting on the facade and in the courtyard highlights the beauty of the buildings after sunset.
Everything in the house is beautiful, even behind the scenes: the emergency staircases and halls are stylishly designed. The grand, refined lobby with designer upholstered furniture is finished in expensive materials, including rare types of marble, brass, and bespoke decorative elements made of metal, plaster, and glass. It is a comfortable place to enjoy a coffee or take it to go. The house also features a comfortable waiting area, a guest restroom, and storage rooms for prams and bicycles.
The lobby design reflects the architectural style of the house, filling the space with light and air. Its connection to the building’s exterior is maintained through the color palette. The light stone used in the lobby decoration echoes the color of the facade, while the elegant lines of the window openings resonate with the sculptural form of the arches at the main entrance. Ceiling heights of 6.5 meters made it possible to divide this space into two levels.
Obydensky №1 offers a unique selection of properties: luxurious apartments and penthouses with fireplaces and terraces offering exceptional views; two- and three-level city houses with a swimming pool and patio; villas with fireplaces, a private swimming pool, a terrace, and a separate private entrance; as well as spacious balconies and terraces in most apartments.
