This simple summer house in Russia by Bureau Bernaskoni makes a sweet retreat from big city living in Moscow. Set in the quaint village on the upper Volga River, this wood clad summer house ’s rustic facade is a wonderful complement to these pastoral surroundings, with a 17th-century church visible through its windows. This riverfront home makes a peaceful cottage retreat for a family with two kids – a simple, minimalist interior that results in a casual, low-maintenance lifestyle. And a great place for the kids’ sleep quarters, this loft design idea gives the parents some privacy for their own master bedroom. The bathroom features a sliding glass door (with privacy shutters, or course) that opens onto an outdoor entertaining area of Siberian larch featuring an outdoor shower. Bureau Bernaskoni
