Abai's residence
Abais residence embodies an architectural dialectic between its French classical façade—baroque ornamentation, mansard roofs—and a radically contemporary interior. The abrupt transition is heightened by antagonistic materials: exterior limestone versus interior polished concrete and Corten steel, crafting a stylistic dystopia that challenges historical coherence. The double-height central void, with its floating minimalist staircase and skylight stratifying light, acts as a disruptive axis, bridging both worlds through travertine marble walls clashing with micro-cement floors.

DISCORDANT HARMONY
The social area becomes a stage for tension, where sculptural furniture and directional lighting amplify the rift between expectation and experimentation. Angular modular lounges coexist with polished basalt fireplaces, while steel-and-glass libraries juxtapose blurred Baroque-inspired frescoes. Details—from neoclassical windows framing cyberpunk-inspired geometric gardens to smart-home tech hidden within gilded moldings—reinforce this anti-nostalgic manifesto.
The house does not reconcile styles but weaponizes their friction as design language. Discordant harmony emerges in structural glazing casting light onto ancestral textures and sleek surfaces, or in coffered ceilings reinterpreted with steel beams. This project transcends residence: it is a material critique of tradition, where spatial conflict becomes an emblem of bold, contemplative contemporaneity.
