The new project of Alfa Research Center is a space for testing and studying user experience for marketing, IT, UX-researchers. This is the third project of the bureau for Alfa-Bank: we have already created a similar space, but on a different scale – in 2013 the IT specialists’ office included an area recreating the atmosphere of the home. Alfa Research Center is a project of a new level, an island of the future, which gathered the best technologies to improve products. Dmitry Chebanenko The space offers several zones that recreate the daily reality – a subway ride, a walk down the street, a café, home, and work. The whole lab is permeated with special cameras, sensors that capture users’ facial expressio... More

The architectural concept of the project is based on a crystal—not only is it an attractive symbol that can be identified with success, light and solemnity, but it is a many-sided element too. Each edge of the crystal catches the light and reflects its own reality. Chkalov is a hotel complex showroom that will combine several functions. It will have a trading segment and residential apartments and will offer the visitors an opportunity to come in touch with modern art. In addition to considerable capabilities of the hotel complex, one of the edges of the crystal reflects its economically advantageous location: proximity to a transportation hub (several subway stations are nearby), an artistic pool (ArtPlay and Winzavod), and trading f...

Loft style business class apartments is the real history that residents of the complex can come in touch with. We have made a thorough study of the past and the present of the Bolshevik factory, and we offer a project that accentuates authentic details through modern materials and approaches. The industrial look of the buildings to be renovated under the project draws attention, as it did more than hundred years ago; it fits in the current structure of the complex and offers comfortable modern apartments at the very heart of the capital city. Brick, metal, and glass are the main materials. Foresides of the building No. 9 were reconstructured carefully and remained almost unchanged. The framework is decorated with restored brickwork with hi... More

The concept of reconstruction of the Center for contemporary experimental art, NPAK in Yerevan is inspired by the main symbol of Armenia – the sign of Arevakhach, which is often called the Armenian symbol of eternity. We are integrating curved elements into the structure of the center by the spiral flow of Arevakhach. Thus, the Museum has several atriums, which make the space free and at the same time consolidated by vertical communications.   We delicately intervened in the architecture, added relief to the cladding of the building, so the stone facade got an interesting texture. We freed the first floor from the cladding and made glazing, so part of the interior space became open to light and people's eyes. We deliberately to... More

We say definite “no” to standard residential architecture and propose a concept of apartcomplex able to solve many architectural and social tasks, to promote development of district economy and to form a point of attraction for its residents. The complex is located in new developing and modern district of Moscow — Gorod-na-Reke Tushino, within walking distance from metro. Big city lifestyle combined with natural surroundings and possibility to enjoy your favorite activities, like water activities and sport, creates optimal environment for successful and active people. Even the complex name — riv.house (abbr. “river”) reflects dynamics of the surrounding. Construction footprint is formed by the land plot lines and city-planning restrictions.... More

Work under the competitive project of Shcherbinka water tower redevelopment has begun with acquaintance to history of the place and communication with residents of the area. It turned out that the Tower is very symbolical for them. The building around has been constantly changed, but the Tower remained the same, so for people it's associated with their children's memoirs, personality formation and important emotions. From discussions we have concluded the strategic decision — we are going to perform the most delicate work with the building and try to keep the tower's silhouette. For this purpose we have lifted the multipurpose hall — it is located on the second floor, having left the tower basis open. In uniform style with the volume of the... More

The residential compound ‘Tweed’ in Moscow’s Krylatsky district is marked by geometric patterns, natural materials and bright color accents. Inspired by patterns of traditional Scottish fabric, tweed, the architects transferred this image to the city, thus creating a bright and custom-tailored project. The residential compound in Krylatsky is composed of quite same-type prefabricated panel buildings. There is a glaring shortage of attractive architectural solutions, quality finishing materials and interesting accents in this place. Tweed will address these problems and will become a bright accent of the area, while not conflicting with existing buildings. The shape of buildings is based on a town-planning analysis of the space-planning... More

Just like it often happens in nature, complicated things sometimes pretend to be simple, and simple things at first can seem complicated. The the Nagatinsky Zaton metro station concept is the same, in its basis there are circles converging to the center, simple forms reflecting complicated evolution process which has happened in this area and in this city. There were small lakes here before, and later the new riverbed of the Moskva River has been formed, and everything that is left from the old area is this island. The island is our concept basis. On the island there are a lot of beavers, they even call it Bobrovsky island, and sure, there are a lot of dumped trees here, too. A tree and its rings by which it is possible to see its age and h...

Elchin Safarli "When I return, be at home""The sky is a great equalizer. From the subsurface of earth chaos all you have to do is look up and remember: life doesn't give any obligations, it has no debts, but it always keeps on running. This truth will become clear as soon as you eliminate the hustle in your head.I fell in love with white sky wanderers when I was six years old: on my way to school I saw the sunbeam working through a huge cumulus cloud. That's something I could easily lie on — I thought. It reminded me of my shaken-up goose down pillow — lush and snow-white, in a crackling pillowcase".The Klenovyi Bulvar station project is full of metaphors. First of all, it's located near the Kolomenskoye Park the territory with a large numb... More

The architectural concept of the Rocky Shore winery has combined the authenticity, solemnity and true nature of wine with a modern way to produce wine.  The modern building of the winery seamlessly blends into the landscape. The shape, the color and the texture of the front blend in with the surrounding scenery and make the winery building part of the landscape. The project has been inspired by beautiful nature of the place with its dramatic topography swings and picturesque vineyard views. The large scale of the building is concealed by the shape of facades. That said, in addition to a pretty large production area, the structure accommodates tasting and presentation rooms, offices and observation decks too. Through the relative level-... More
