“First, I made a big project about the folk architecture of garden houses “6 acres” in the Arkhangelsk region,” says the photographer. “I was inspired by the process of painting unusual houses. Returning to the Moscow region, I began to explore ancient village villages and found many houses with unusual architecture, began catalog them, they were included in the project "Kratov's Dachas", which was exhibited at the end of summer at the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture.

According to Fedor, he travels a lot and during these travels he comes across many old cottages. What attracts him most is “pre-revolutionary architecture - elegant houses with thoughtful layouts and decorative aesthetics.”
