ARCHITECTURE A Hotel Complex
the ski stadium with tracks and climbing walls to Raduga. Since we wanted to build a “bipolar” academy, we needed to duplicate some of its facilities, namely a sports center, a hotel, a customer service, and an indoor parking. When we studied the territory in detail, we developed a special design plan to facilitate training and competition processes. We decided to share some of the facilities with our neighbors - the Siberian Federal University. As a result, the total project area increased by more than two times to 237.9 ha.

a multi-level underground parking in order not to cut down the forest. Instead, we decided to rebuild previously urbanized areas and to design new transport, walking, and ski routes to replace the existing ones.
– How did you manage to preserve the unique landscape when planning the project? The project site is located in Western Krasnoyarsk, in environmentally friendly areas away from industrial zones. In order to minimize human influence on the natural landscape, we refocused our project on reduced construction areas, a better use of the local relief and a better integration of facilities into the landscape. The so-called vertical urbanism. We have also designed
We plan to locate the service centers above the multi-level car parking. The roofs will be built with special terraces and stands that give a nice view of the sports facilities. We also need to design a stadium to substitute for former administrative and technical buildings. We plan to build coach and locker rooms close to transit sidewalks and the stands. We use the natural relief to build exits of different levels to each of the coach and locker rooms and a bobsleigh track. Flat roofs of other multipurpose sports facilities are used as outdoor athletic fields during the summer. For instance, there will be a skate park on the roof of Complex 1B. The hotel car parking and the Sopka sports core will be integrated into the landscape to isolate the transport from public areas. – Did you use someone else’s expertise in you project?
