Old log cabin in neat modern shell near Minsk, Belarus

When designer Veronika Bagrintseva bought a plot outside Minsk, Belarus, for her family, there was an old forester’s house on it. The new owners did not want to demolish it, as they really fell in love with it, but it was also impossible to leave it in a dilapidated form. In order to preserve the log cabin, the designer opted for a prefabricated reconstruction technology – this is when an old house is dressed in a modern frame structure. Now from the street, the house looks stylish and Scandinavian, while inside the original wooden walls and atmosphere have been preserved. Of course, many details of the decor here are selected in a modern style, but thanks to the restored elements, the connection with the past is also clearly felt in the house. Great project!
