Local architecture firm AB CHVOYA offers another option that boasts a studio, a three bedroom residential area, as well as a yoga space. Divided into two zones, the house is connected with a transit porch. It is evident that an integral component of artist residencies is a [close-to-nature factor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sadowski-house) and a peaceful ambiance. Located in a forest 60 kilometers away from St. Petersberg, the [all-black house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-bua) is clad with carbonized wood that helps the home seamlessly integrate into the wooden surroundings and its layout is decidedly informed by the plot's slope and the geographical predispositions of the area.
