MASTERS’ WORK
Masters’ work is seen at once. A fleeting glance is enough to realise that no efforts were saved to find slabs of flawless marble or polish brass surfaces to their brilliant perfection. Artisan is the one, a piece of master. It is all ‘hand-made’, its quality being no abstraction. It is tangible and noticeable, resulting from its makers’ earnestness and unfailing responsibility, towards the input and the outcome alike. Artisan’s two buildings, united by a garden, were erected with competence and skill, as well as heart and soul. Here, even the tiniest of details was given care and attention. To absorb them all a lifetime’s needed.
INNER COURT FACADE
TAKING CARE OF MATERIAL
The facade overlooking the inner court is partly glazed and lined with hand-formed bricks. Only special clay will do to produce them and only a rare specialist is able to provide enough attention at all stages of the intricate process. Without artificial ageing, hard firing and coloured sand blasting, their texture would not be so impressively rough and their colouring so unique. They would look dull, drab and commonplace, one brick like another.
HISTORIC FACADE
The Empire style facade of the Artisan complex, the one that overlooks the Arbat, is in harmony with all other historic buildings on the street. The architectural details are impeccable and well placed. The Corinthian order columns, the portico, the statuary, the stuccowork - nothing is out of tune here. Artisan’s face front is so perfect that were the building a human, a painter would choose this grand facade for the model’s ceremonial portrait.
THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL OF THE HISTORIC FACADE IS ITS STUCCOWORK. INDIVIDUALLY DRAFTED BY EXPERIENCED ARTISTS AND HAND-MADE BY SCRUPULOUS MASTERS, IT ADDS ORIGINALITY TO THE FACADE, ELEGANCY TO THE RELIEF, AND MANY A DELIGHT TO THE VIEWER.
