History

The Brynner Mansion is a cultural heritage site of regional significance. The building was designed by the German architect Georg Junghändel , who took part in the design and construction of Berlin Cathedral. His bureau was
the largest in Vladivostok at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Swiss citizen Julius Joseph Bryner, after graduating from a commercial gymnasium in Geneva,
went East in search of a better life.

After trying his luck in China and Korea, the young Bryner decided to settle in Primorye, a region that had appealed to him. In 1910, a new mansion for the Bryner family was built on Aleutskaya Street to a design by architect Georg Junghändel. The family lived there until the 1930s.

design and implementation period

The mansion is also famous as the birthplace and childhood home of Yul, the grandson of Julius Bryner. Later, he emigrated
to America with his family, added a second “n” to his surname, began a film career, and became the Oscar-winning actor Yul Brynner.

Concept

The bureau’s main task was to preserve
the historic interior elements and integrate modern solutions. The revival of the Brynner Mansion
is the preservation of the history of Russia’s Far East.

The restaurant in the Brynner Mansion is the signature feature of the boutique hotel, open to the wider public
of Vladivostok.
