Alpine style Designer Irena Barene is the owner of the company "Chalet & Chalet".
Legendary personality
Usually designers hang out on theirInternet sites are very meager information: I was born, I studied, I realized such and such projects ... Irena Barene is different: instead of dry biographical data - fascinating story of her family. It begins intriguingly: "I was born in Moscow, in a house built by my parents ..." Further - more: the French grandmother at the Moscow country cottage, the Russian grandfather against the backdrop of the Alpine mountains and other amazing "not from our life" details. Later, at a personal meeting with the designer, it became clear: the house stood in the village of Trinity-Lykovo, which is really within the boundaries of Moscow. Grandfather met his grandmother during his foreign mission and was not afraid to bring his foreign wife to the USSR. On the site these facts are omitted - the legend is always more eloquent than facts.
Relationship of times
"The legend is the same story, but rethought,submitted in a romantic way, - the designer reasons. "She is born and lives in your heart, helping to preserve the memory of the past and find her place in the present." Irena knows what she's talking about. Her current business is from childhood. An old photograph depicting an Alpine chalet, against which a grandmother and grandfather had once been imprinted, buried her deeply in her soul. Now she is building a chalet in the suburbs. On her account, more than one hundred and fifty realized projects, including a house in the village of Sosnovy Bor.
The house in the Alpine style perfectly blended into the landscape outside Moscow.
