Brief

A residential building under the renovation programme in the Beskudnikovsky district. The ground floor is given over to non-residential premises.

Solution

An L-shaped building of varying height, from 8 to 25 storeys. Two high-rise sections carry the main facade: white balcony frames are staggered in a chequerboard pattern, so the large building reads as a lively, irregular fabric rather than a standard grid.

My role

Concept, floor plans and facades. AGR, P and R stage documentation, 2015-2016.

Diversity against monotony

The renovation programme shows how varied facades can change the character of an entire district. Instead of standard templates, each building gets its own identity through texture, window rhythm and a combination of materials.

This diversity enlivens neighbourhoods and brings human scale back to the streets. Facades that respond to local context become the face of the district, break visual monotony and strengthen residents' bond with the place where they live.
