Modern style is sometimes avoided by traditional spirits for fear that it may look outdated in several years. Due to our continuously changing world, a trend that seduces the audience at a moment – namely with architectural details such as amazing angles, glass facades or terraced roofs – can easily feel passé a few years later. In contrast with present fashions, classic styles seem rooted in an elegant, simple, vintage atmosphere of whose authenticity nobody dares to question. You know they represent that time and you take it for granted, while modern tendencies of this time fight for attention ceaselessly. And the glory goes to architects that know how to tackle the problem and put their mastery and inspiration in designing projects that stand the test of time. This is exactly the case with Russian studio Alexandra Fedorova of whose brilliant concepts are presented in the 5 modern projects below.
