站在村庄的入口处，老磨坊不仅是一个重要的地标，也是文化、民族、代际和思想的交汇点。2022年，它被改造为一个文化中心，唤醒了村庄和地区的社会文化生活。磨坊经历了从废弃废墟到充满活力的公共空间的戏剧性转变，重新回归到它所属于的社区。
老磨坊最初建于附近的村庄。后来，它被迁移到卡尔帕切沃，并在现在的位置上重建。关闭后，它被遗弃并遭受严重损坏。2019年，德韦塔基高原协会决定让磨坊恢复生机。
该项目的主要目标是通过使用当地自然材料和回收可用材料 “如木板、屋顶瓦、土坯砖和灰泥、烧结砖、石材等” 来改造和重新利用这座废弃建筑。核心概念是保持原有结构的粗犷乡村美学，同时以整体合理的方式整合新功能，以满足新的需求。
新干预的主要设计概念是采用对比和平衡的原则。根据这一理念，白色金属元素被引入室内，作为对乡村粗糙老木结构的对比。新添加的元素不仅增强了旧结构的自然外观，还为室内空间引入了光线。细腻的金属“蕾丝”被用来框住扶手和简约的家具，既提供了安全性和新功能，同时又让访客能够看到背后的真实元素。旧与新、明与暗、“干净”与“肮脏”之间的对比，创造了和谐与平衡的特殊氛围，尊重了地方的真实精神。整体效果是一个混合空间，既保留了其独特和真实的特征，又满足了新功能的所有现代需求。
三层木结构保持了原有状态，必要时进行了结构加固，以确保访客的安全。楼层之间的开口允许多层垂直视觉连接和交流。第一层从南侧的主入口可达，由三个区域组成——信息点、小厨房和公共区域——这是一个各代人聚会的地方。第二层作为多功能空间，为各种文化活动提供舞台——培训、演示、工作坊、讲座、公共讨论和共享工作空间。访客的洗手间、储藏空间和租赁自行车设施位于底层。为了确保通往第二层的通道，新增了楼梯和扶手。木窗按照原布局重新制作，并在内部加装了铝合金双层玻璃窗，以确保节能。
曾经的废弃废墟如今已回归当地社区，为这一古老地标增添了新的意义。
Standing at the very entrance of the village, the old Mill is not only an important landmark, but also a meeting point of cultures, nationalities, generations and ideas. In 2022, it was converted into a cultural center awakening the social and cultural life in the village and the region. The Mill underwent dramatic transition from an abandoned ruin to a vibrant public space, regained back to the community it belongs.
The old Mill was initially built in the nearby village. Later on it was moved all the way to Karpachevo and rebuilt on the place it stands now. After it closed down it was abandoned and suffered serious damages. In 2019 the Devetaki Plateau Association decided to bring life back to the Mill.
The main aim of the project was the adaptation and repurposing of the abandoned building by using local natural materials and recycling the available ones. (wooden planks, roof tiles, adobe bricks and plaster, baked bricks, stone, etc.) Essential concept was keeping the raw, rural aesthetics of the original fabric. In the same time to integrate the new function in a holistic sensible manner to meet the new needs.
The main design concept for the new intervention was adopting the principle of contrast and balance. Following this idea metal elements painted in white were introduced to the interior as a contradiction to the rustic rough old timber structure. The newly added elements not only enhance the natural look of the old structure but also introduce light to the interior space. A tender metal “lace” was used to frame the banisters and the ascetic furniture. It offers safety and new functionality at the same time, still allowing the visitor to see the authentic elements behind. The play between old and new, dark and light, ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’ create the special atmosphere of harmony and balance with respect to the authentic spirit of the place. The overall result – a hybrid space that managed to keep its unique and genuine character, but also satisfying all the contemporary needs of the newly added function.
The 3-storey timber structure was kept in its original state – undergoing structural reinforcement where needed to provide safety for the visitors. Openings through the floors allow multi-storey vertical visual connection and communication. The 1st floor, accessible from the main entrance to the south, consists of 3 zones – information point, kitchenette and communal area – a meeting place for all generations. The 2nd floor acts as a multifunctional space that provides stage for different kinds of cultural events – trainings, presentations, workshops, lectures, public discussions and co-working space. Lavatories for visitors, storage space and rent-a-bike facilities are positioned at the ground floor. To secure the access to the 2nd floor a new staircase and railings were added. The wooden windows were remade in their original layout and doubled on the inside with aluminium double-glazed windows to ensure energy saving.
What was once an abandoned ruin is now returned to the local community adding new meaning to an old landmark.
