Russian style of architecture

The architecture of the "Russian" style refers to the traditional architectural forms and elements that have prevailed in Russia for many centuries. This style combines various influences, including Russian folk architecture, Orthodox church architecture, the culture of Kievan Rus, and Western European architectural trends.

One of the characteristics of the Russian style is the use of wooden materials, especially for residential buildings. Wooden houses with richly decorated facades and woodcarvings were widespread in rural Russia, creating an atmosphere of coziness and warmth.

In Orthodox church architecture of the Russian style, enormous golden domes topped with bulbous ornaments stand out. They give the churches a majestic and impressive appearance. Churches are often adorned with floral patterns, frescoes, and icons.

The Russian style of architecture is also represented in civil construction, especially in cities and large estates. Buildings may feature baroque elements with intricate carvings, pilasters, columns, and balustrades. Facades can be adorned with decorative elements such as cornices, figurines, and statues.

This is one of the forty original architectural styles based on which I generated references for the interior and exterior of the target building.
