Country House in Boladala Village

The country house is located on the shore of the Charvak Reservoir, an artificial lake surrounded by mountains, approximately 80 km from Tashkent. The village of Boladala is one of the more remote settlements along the reservoir and remains largely untouched by tourism. The house is positioned on the edge of the village, offering open views toward the lake and surrounding mountains.

The complex occupies an extensive 1.6-hectare site, most of which is covered by gardens. The building area is 580 m². The buildings are concentrated on the upper part of the property and include the main house, guest house, staff house, bathhouse with a summer kitchen and swimming pool, as well as a sports court with a terrace. Several recreational terraces, outdoor spaces, and a fire pit are integrated into the landscape.

The architecture of the complex draws from the character of traditional mountain settlements in Central Asia, where buildings respond closely to the terrain and are defined by pitched roofs, wooden canopies, and columns. The buildings are positioned to maximize views toward the lake and mountains while maintaining privacy for the owners and their guests. Their arrangement follows the natural character of the site, creating a sequence of courtyards, terraces, and gardens connected to the surrounding landscape.

The entrance zone includes a guest bedroom, playroom, and supporting spaces. The second floor contains the children’s room and master bedroom, which opens onto a large terrace overlooking the landscape.

The material palette is based on natural and locally available materials, including local stone, traditional adobe plaster, wood, and metal. Large pitched roofs, wooden elements, and natural materials reinforce the connection between the architecture and the mountainous environment while reflecting the character of local building traditions.
