On the territory there are two three-level houses, a guest house and a bath complex with a swimming pool. The interior design was thought out by the musician himself with the help of a professional architect who had previously worked on the design of his apartment.

The place for construction was recommended by friends. Ilya managed to acquire the last plot. The land here was inexpensive and this village was almost completely built up.

The houses are located so that residents can communicate and spend time together, but at the same time, if necessary, they can retire at any time. The buildings are interconnected by a concrete staircase with wooden trim. The overall style is minimalism with laconic and clean lines.

The walls are painted with water-based paint in cold tones. The floor, in contrast to the walls, is made of wood in a warm chocolate color, which creates a feeling of comfort and homeliness.

On the ground floor, in one space there is a living room (with a working fireplace and steel chimney) and a kitchen with dining area. Here reigns minimalism in all its manifestations. In the middle of the room is a long table and intricate chairs. An original lamp in the shape of a bridge hangs above the table; Anna brought it from Hamburg as a gift to her husband.

The frame of the house is made of brick and concrete slabs, as evidenced by the undecorated ceiling. It was decided to only highlight its texture with wooden beams in the style of the staircase.

Next to the stairs to the second floor hangs “African Woman,” a wedding gift from South Africa. Ilya does not consider himself a collector; the main thing for him is that the paintings carry emotions and memories. Works by Wang Qing and Ying Ye-fu are juxtaposed here with family and memorable photographs, as well as drawings and sketches of Ilya Lagutenko’s father.

There are five bedrooms in the house, the main one of which occupies the entire top floor. Ilya's bedroom is connected to the original bathroom and toilet. knot. The bathroom is located on a wooden podium. The bed has a similar design; it seems to float above the floor. The role of bedside tables and shelving is performed by recesses in the walls.

The entire ground floor is given over to a garage, a large dressing room and utility rooms.

The recording studio, equipped with the latest technology, is located in the basement and can easily be transformed into a 3D cinema.

In 2012, the multi-level mansion, designed in the 21st Century Modern style, was valued at $2.7 million.

Ilya was never completely tied to one place and in 2012 he decided to fulfill his dream and moved to live and work in Vladivostok. Here he has been actively working on the V-ROX festival for several years.

“I'm trying to stay who I am. I don't want to take someone's place. To be in my own world, as I imagine it. And if my world is interesting to people of different generations (including 20-year-olds), then this is the greatest compliment to me as an author-performer.”

Biography of Ilya Lagutenko

The iconic building of Soviet life - a five-story building - was designed by Ilya Lagutenko’s paternal grandfather, architect Vitaly Pavlovich Lagutenko. And the father - Igor Vitalievich - was also an architect. But Ilya didn’t know his dad, because he passed away when Ilya was only six months old. Soon he was transported to Vladivostok, where the whole family of his mother, Elena Borisovna, a fashion designer, lived. He spent his childhood and youth in the city. The mother's parents comprehensively developed the boy: thanks to his grandfather, he knew well how to English language, and physics, and thanks to my grandmother, I developed musically.

In 1975, Ilya went to first grade at Chinese School No. 9, which could be reached on foot from home. He studied Chinese at school, and with his grandfather and a dictionary he translated the lyrics of Western songs caught on Japanese radio waves for American soldiers.

The musician served in the Pacific Fleet Air Force on Russky Island, and he considers his military service to be time well spent, because it taught him discipline and responsibility.

Ilya is an orientalist by training: he studied at the oriental faculty at the Far Eastern State University and graduated in 1992. In fact, he left the university as a translator, historian, economist, culturologist and regional historian of China.
He went on a student exchange to the city of Dalian in Liaoning province - once the Russian colony of Dalny. He sailed like a hare in the holds to Beijing and starred in various TV series.

Lagutenko's musical career

While still at school, Ilya created his own group, Bonnie Pi. And in 1983 - the rock group Mumiy Troll, which became a cult group (by the way, at first the group was called Mumi Troll).
The group very quickly gained popularity in the country. In the 1990s, its leader was called a test for generations: if you don’t understand his music, it means you’re morally outdated.

Then he jokingly called the genre in which his group played “rock-pop,” and dreamed that every tenth of the billion people in China would buy his disc: then he would no longer need to work.

Ilya Lagutenko's musical career included production experience. True, his wards had different fates: he promoted Zemfira’s very first disc, as well as the albums of the St. Petersburg group “Today at Night” and the group from Vladivostok “Misty Moan”. By the way, groups still exist, but only Zemfira managed to rise to the top of the musical Olympus. And Lagutenko does not consider himself a professional producer.

Ilya was invited to act in films several times. For example, director Leonid Rybakov invited him not only to write music for the melodrama “The Book Thieves”, but also to play himself. Lagutenko also played himself in the comedy “Radio Day” by Dmitry Dyachenko. But viewers probably remembered him as the colorful vampire Andrei in Timur Bekmambetov’s fantasy “Night Watch” (2004).

"Eurovision"

In 2001, the Mumiy Troll group participated in an international music competition and took 12th place. But this fact did not upset Ilya at all. The musicians had no illusions about victory, and they were quite pleased with their own performance.

A history textbook was published in the mid-2000s modern Russia for 9th grade. According to the author of the textbook, Professor A. A. Danilov, the Mumiy Troll group had a very strong influence on the consciousness of young people in the 90s of the 20th century.

There are so many around terrible people, thoughts, things, and with them it all disappears. My mother says that my daughters are my valerian.”
