The house of the clergy is located in the village of Komarovo at the temple and is surrounded by a dense forest. The concept of the project had to solve two tasks: to combine traditional and modern design approaches and create an object that would not attract attention from the temple, but would be a background for it.

The house of the clergy is a two—storey building with a gable roof, the ridge of which is not parallel to the longitudinal wall, but turned at an angle. This gives the building's composition a dynamic feel. The building is divided into two zones: the northern one is the administrative block, where the recreation room, accounting offices, the headman and the rector are located; the southern one, where the study room, the church shop, the refectory and auxiliary rooms are located.

A recessed entrance is a technique that allows you to emphasize the entrance area. Such a decision subconsciously "drags" the parishioner into the building.

The main materials were white brick, made of different masonry, and natural stone. This allows for a small effort to achieve a variety of facades and emphasize the established geometricity of the house of the clergy.
