Descri­zio­ne del progetto

The com­plex is loca­ted on the roc­ky sho­re of Lake Lado­ga and con­sists of two cha­pels loca­ted on natu­ral hills and a viewing plat­form for pil­grims with a cafe, con­nec­ted by gal­le­ries and a sto­ne cross in the squa­re in front of the entrance.
The cha­pels are built of wood in the tra­di­tions of the natio­nal archi­tec­tu­re of Kare­lia and nor­thern Rus­sia and pla­ced on natu­ral sto­ne foundations.
The inte­riors look unex­pec­ted for woo­den archi­tec­tu­re and resem­ble Roma­ne­sque chur­ches with ele­gant sto­ne car­vings, mosaic icons with gold smalt, mar­ble and mother-of-pearl, and for­ged iron elements.
The com­plex is loca­ted on the ter­ri­to­ry of an ancient mona­ste­ry, in the area of ​​a natu­ral and cul­tu­ral reser­ve, and the author’s main idea was to har­mo­niou­sly fit the buil­ding into natu­re, not to attract much atten­tion to it, to keep natu­re and the histo­ri­cal buil­dings of the mona­ste­ry as the main object of attention.
The wood is impre­gna­ted with anti-rot and fire-pre­­­ve­n­­tion agen­ts, but is not pain­ted; Over time, it takes on the natu­ral color of old wood and blends in with the sur­roun­ding fore­st. And the mason­ry seams are not fil­led with mor­tar, which gives them a resem­blan­ce to wild sto­nes on a roc­ky shore.
