According to the aesthetics of the Historicism period, the architect Bosse tried his hand at different "historic styles". In his designs for country houses of the late 1830s to mid-1840s he worked mainly "in the English cottage style, using elements of Gothic decoration".[1]

The architect's style evolved from strict

Saltykova on Bolshaya Morskaya and the mansions of M.V. Kochubey and A.A. Polovtsov. However, the interiors of the residences are decorated in different styles: Neo-Baroque, Neo-Rococo, Byzantine, Moorish and Gothic
.

The facade of E. M. Buturlina's house on Tchaikovsky Street is one of the most striking examples of the "second baroque" in St. Petersburg, imitating the Winter Palace by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli.

While rebuilding the Boudoir of Empress Maria Alexandrovna in the Winter Palace Bosse chose the Rococo style; he replaced the original blue colour with bright scarlet silk and gilded details.[1]
