The unique architecture of the residential complex “Esil Riverside” combines the best traditions of New York neo-classicism, elements of art deco and aesthetics of the national culture of Kazakhstan.

Dream City
Location: Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan
Type: Residential complex
Scale: 77 483 m2
Stage: Construction

Transparent glass covers the surface of the facades, while a minor protrusion of the walls enriches the plasticity of cubic form, creating a chiaroscuro of the surface. A grid of rectangular frames combining the window openings of two floors into one window span creates the illusion of a large-scale increase in the facade - further supporting the monumentality of the overall figurative expression.
