Projects

Residential complex in Yaroslavl The architectural look of the residential complex is based on a solid sculptural volume, in a development which is very varied in color and height. We solved the challenges presented by using one base color and material with a few accents. The imagery comes down to the proportions of the building. The gap between the first and the second blocks makes the perception of the composition more acute. It’s also a good thing for the shaded side of the street – this gap gives an additional ray of sunshine, visually enriching the space and street life. It also allows the internal yard space to “breath”. The plot for the residential complex is located in Yaroslavl, Russia. It’s situated in an area for the protection of cultural heritage sites with height restrictions of 30 meters. The project provides for the construction of a unified residential complex which consists of two blocks of 10-11 floors with landscaped space. Both blocks include spaces with different functions, not only living spaces. There are technical, commercial and retail spaces in addition to spaces for social purposes. The living spaces start from the second floor and include apartments of different types. Commercial and social spaces have separate entrances from the outside of the complex – from Bolshaya Oktyabrskaya and Lisicina street. The entrances to the residential sections are organized through the pedestrian arch from Bolshaya Oktyabrskaya street and through another three arches from driveways.

Projects

Apart Hotel «4th Magistralnaya» The plot for the building is situated in Moscow, at the intersection of Magistralnaya street and Khoroshovskoye highway. The project was for an Apart hotel and was designed according to the Architectural concept for this part of the city. It consists of a building with different functions: a hotel complex with an underground car park and a convention center. The volume of the building, its planning and functional organization is due to the size and shape of the plot and its functional purpose. The aboveground part of the complex is designed with 3 parts: the stylobate part, the solid part of the hotel and the lightweight part of the SPA-center on top. The extended 4-story stylobate part with the convention center, which mirrors the shape of plot, thus utilizing it as much as possible. The technical space is situated between the hotel block (5-14 floors) and the SPA complex. It involves placing of the engineering systems for the SPA and ventilation systems for the hotel part. The façade of the main hotel part has a stepped shape and follows the line of projected driveway. The upper floor with the SPA complex has a solid glass façade and is designed with the small indent of the main stepped façade. The façade and module design corresponds to the hotel rooms placement.

Projects

Apart Hotel in Zelenograd The plot for the building site is situated in Zelenograd, Moscow, in the Alabushevo industrial zone. The development of this special economic zone and the absence of high-quality hotels in the near surroundings makes the placement of the hotel of this type (aparthotel) appropriate. The project proposes the creation of an aparthotel, which consists of 2 blocks united by a stylobate part and an underground car park. With the SPA-center on the second floor of the stylobate part. The height of the building is up to 50 meters. The building has 14 overground and 1 underground floors, the technical floor for the engineering systems is designed between the 1st and the 2nd floors. The block of hotel rooms is designed with an atrium with natural light in the central part. The block of hotel’s apartments is solved more traditionally – with the staircase-elevator unit in the central part. The main entrance to the hotel with the parking places and the place for the bus stop is organized from the Alabushevskaya street, the main transportation route. In the back yard with the good southwest position, we designed the lounge zone with the open stage.

Projects

Residential complex Tomilino Park This project was designed for an affordable residential development. It consists of 4 blocks of flats of variable height. Living spaces are designed starting from the second floor, on the ground (1st) floor there are entrances to the residential parts and commercial spaces. The parcel is situated close to the public highway of regional importance “Moscow-Zhukovsky” and “Moscow-Yegor’evsk-Tuma-Kasimov” with access to public transport. It’s also close to the railway station “Tomilino”. The development is designed according to the shape and geometry of the plot, creating the new line of the street along Ryazanskoye highway. This complex and multistage silhouette is primarily due to insolation parameters of existing buildings. The style of the residential complex is modern and rational with 3 different colors of ceramic bricks (terracotta, sand and gray) with white and light-gray plaster. the

Projects

Residential complex Liubertsy (interior designing)

This is just one part of a project for another residential complex in Liubertsy, an area close to Moscow. The complex consists of two blocks of flats with variable heights. The lobbies are designed as a non-barrier environment, so the entrance is reachable from the internal space of the complex without any obstacles. There are two colors (green and orange) for identification of two types of living spaces – apartments and flats. This part of the project includes designing of the internal spaces for common areas in the residential parts, and also creating drawings of the design project for the building site. I also made the hand sketches for the main entrances.

Projects

Residential complex Mar’ino The design of these high-rise blocks of the big residential complex is based on 7 dominants with the gradual lowering of height from the blocks of 19-23 floors. Complex and multilevel, “castle”-like image of the housing of 27 blocks is also the result of calculating insolation requirements and residential density. As a base we used the ideas of creating the new silhouette of the development, the formation of a comfortable city environment (the combination of living spaces and internal yards spaces), providing good insolation and lighting of the spaces and outside areas, dividing the flows of traffic of inhabitants and delivery services. The internal yard has a multileveled landscaped space, partially situated on top of the roof of the underground parking space. The height of blocks gradually decreases closer to the center of the yard and creates the square, which is located on the center of the intersection of pedestrian ways and visual axis. The active silhouette and the variety of internal yard spaces dictates the use of different materials for the façade decorations. We used 3 main types of materials such as ceramic tiles of big size, dark and light gray fiber cement boards. In the decoration of the entrances to the residential parts we used the system of color coding of the numbers of blocks. The dividing of volumes to the “cube” shapes is also accented by stripes of stemalite. Also, for every apartment we placed the baskets for the placement of air conditioner blocks, which were decorated by metal panels. It also creates another layer of the façade adding depths and plasticity.
