Perhaps each of us should build our own dream palace, however, in practice, only a few succeed. So, the humble postman Cheval entered history, for 40 years he single-handedly built his " The perfect palace"But our today's story is not about him - the Russian land can give birth to its own Chevali. Residents of the Far Eastern city of Artyom, the spouses Valentina and Aleksey Krivov, built a dream palace, despite the fact that they had only construction waste of building materials.
Valentina and Alexey Krivov - former builders by profession, and Alexei has golden hands, and Valentina has a remarkable architectural fantasy. The way to the palace for them began with the usual renovation started in 1995. Sometimes it happens: you start repairs, but it is no longer so easy to stop. So at the Krivovs, repairs gradually developed into the creation of a new house. How handsome!
In dream palace oriental motifs intertwined (in some places it even resembles the Taj Mahal) and the classics of Russian church architecture. Black double-headed eagles on the walls look up at a dome that looks like Big Ben. The palace is especially beautiful in summer, when the tiled mosaic shimmers brightly in the sun.
It is unlikely that the Krivovs would have enough money for construction if they did not know how to use the construction waste found on the street. Neighbors also helped the architects. Over time, the Krivovs' project attracted the attention of the townspeople, who made their contribution to the palace - so that there was a piece and their dreams in it. Now the amazing house is almost ready, but you can finish building and bring it to perfection forever. In addition to the Krivovs themselves, 14 cats and three dogs live in the dream palace. In the future, the couple want to turn their entire house into a fabulous estate, and then donate it to the kindergarten.
And yet, what prompted the construction spouses to create personal dream palace? Alexey Krivov answers: they just wanted to leave behind something beautiful.
