design work 1997-1999

The use of new design technologies including computer modelling and animation made it possible to prove to the municipality that this site is perfectly suited to a 6-storey house with a total floor area of 5927m2, instead of the 3-storey building with 870m2 floor area specified by the planning documents.

The building is a link between a 19th-century architectural monument a brick 12-storey tower block. This proiect was nominated for the Union of Moscow Architects Golden Section award as best building in 2001.
