Sofia Kuvshinnikova lived in this mansion — “The Grasshopper,” as A. P. Chekhov called her.
A frequent guest of hers was the renowned artist

Concept

The main task was to preserve the history
of the estate and adapt it to a new function — the office
of an international law firm. The restoration work was carried out over two years and was preceded
by meticulous research. Thorough efforts were made
to recreate the appearance and spirit
of the 19th-century mansion.

object area

The central feature of the reception area is a chandelier designed
by the head of the bureau, Marianna Petrenko,
in collaboration with the Italian factory Terzani.

Preservation and conservation

Restored elements include: decorative alfrey painting from the early 19th century, a plaster ceiling rosette from the second half of the 19th century, historic
19th-century doors, a historic newspaper from 1897 that served as wallpaper backing, and two grisaille rosettes.

The historic walls are exhibits where the cultural layers
of the last three centuries are presented.

Start a Project

The project has been featured in various media outlets and nominated for numerous awards.

Since 2026, the historic interiors of the Elohovskiy office have been available for business meetings, presentations, photo and video shoots, and intimate events.
