Volga house, Tverskaya, Russia, by Peter Kostelov. Seven types of slatted panels comprise this dacha (country home). As the new book Wood puts it: “Their complementary rhythms soften the blocky superstructure. Peter Kostelov considers the design suggestive of Soviet era dachas, which were built piecemeal and utilised whatever materials became available”. (Photo by Alexey Knyazev/The Guardian)
