About

A Forest Retreat with a Mountain View. A true family estate nestled in one of Kazakhstan’s most breathtaking locations—the serene resort area of Burabay.

Ancient Pines, Pristine Air, and Majestic Mountain Landscapes. Surrounded by centuries-old pines, crystal-clear air, and 14 pristine lakes, this residence is set against the magnetic backdrop of Burabay’s mountain ranges. 

Challenge

Designed as a private retreat for a family of six, the home offers a sanctuary where nature and togetherness take center stage. A space to create cherished memories, destined to be passed down to future generations.

Contrast concept

The space is thoughtfully divided into public and private zones, with shared living areas on the first floor and personal retreats on the second.

At the core of the interior concept lies the principle of contrast—rooted in nature and its inherent rhythms. This idea is reflected in every detail: a palette of black and white, mirroring the cyclical transition of day and night, creating a dynamic yet harmonious atmosphere.

Thoughtfully selected elements infuse the interior with harmony and sophistication, seamlessly supporting the overall concept and vision. They reveal meaning rather than distract from it.

Entrance area

Stepping inside, you are embraced by a space cloaked in dark environment. Then, a dramatic transition — a luminous expanse unfolds, revealing a panoramic window with breathtaking views of the forest.

The effect is invigorating, like a contrast shower. The grandeur of the soaring ceiling and the sweeping landscape make the space feel even more expansive and weightless after the enveloping darkness of the entryway.

Kitchen

Here, boundaries dissolve—the kitchen, framed by panoramic windows and opening onto the terrace, extends the living space beyond the walls of the home.

In summer, the morning ritual moves under the open sky, where interior, architecture, and nature merge into a seamless narrative.
