CITY BLOCK ON THE TERRITORY OF THE ADC "KOMMUNARKA"

PROJECT | 2024

MOSCOW, RUSSIA

The Kommunarka city quarter is consider to be the Heart of New Moscow with developed infrastructure and a comfortable modern urban environment, convenient transport location and view apartments.

The seven construction sections are designed with a single architectural character, forming an ensemble unified stylistic solution. Each site is unique, designed at different heights with a decrease in the height of the buildings to the south - opening the interior quarter space to the south towards the sun.
The complex as a new center of attraction for mix-us is designed as a “linden alley” on a macro scale for Mechnikov Boulevard and the newly designed streets. The residential part is white, the public and business center is black. Contrasting solutions are easily read from long distances. There is a two-level underground parking area along the perimeter of the block.
Atriums and green roofs are organized in the office parts - these are rest areas for office employees. Each residential “tower” has “sky gardens” - public spaces for the residents of the house. The courtyards are equipped with fountains for the warm season, which become skating rinks for the winter time.

The pedestrian Linden Alley unites four residential areas into a looped route for walking along canopies and bridges in courtyards and over the roadway with sidewalks - rising and falling, smoothly curving in plan, reflecting the parametric nature of landscaping and architecture. Windows in arrow-shaped arches with frosted glass illuminate the diffused light, illuminating the bathrooms, wardrobes and side openings in the viewing rooms.
