House of The Moon

Project statement

Nestled among the trees and snow of the majestic Caucasus Mountains hiding this house, the design of the two main rooms【The master bedroom and the living room】focuses on maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere, drawing inspiration from the traditional Circassian elements of the Caucasus region and making them the cornerstone of the design concept.

The Caucasus, specifically North Caucasus, a captivating mountain range bridging Europe and Asia, is home to the Circassians —a people of rich history, language, and traditions.

Despite facing centuries of conflict, including a tragic genocide, the Circassians resiliently preserve their culture through dispersed diaspora communities worldwide. Their vibrant customs, music, motifs, dance, and folklore reflect a strong sense of community and hospitality. While navigating political and economic challenges, the Circassians remain dedicated to preserving their identity and shaping a brighter future for their homeland, contributing to the diverse tapestry of the Caucasus region.

The main goal of the project is to merge the Circassian culture in a modren way.
