For all the nuances and complexities, the house had great potential, which the client saw. First of all, it was located in the historical center of the city. Nearby are the famous mansions of such architects as Kekushev and Shechtel. The task was to raise the architectural appearance of the building to the level of significant examples of architecture and architecture of the city, and to give the exterior a weightiness that corresponds to the status of the owner.

Inside, the space needed to be reimagined and create a scenario for the life of one family with a wealth of international experience. A space is not enough to plan, it needs to be emphasized and a meaningful idea created. Thus came the need for a major remodeling inside the house.

The request for finishes and furniture was to look simple but very expensive. As before, the magnates who built mansions at the end of the 19th century invited the best craftsmen in stone, wood, metal, ceramics, glass, who made individual products according to the architect's sketches and drawings.
