During the development of this project, we were given a unique opportunity to detail a large-scale project, from the urban plan, architecture, and landscaping to the finishing materials and decorations on the façades. We considered the district layout as a cohesive whole, with the Grand Mosque serving as the central focus, as well as an independent development consisting of 4 quarters, including a city and district park, playgrounds, pocket parks, and a community center.
The project takes a detailed look not only at the typology and category of housing but also at the social infrastructure of each district and area as a whole, including schools, clinics, kindergartens, police stations, and other facilities. It is worth noting that all the elements in the GRAND MOSQUE project are steeped in Kazakhstani traditions, culture, and natural beauty, which impressed us greatly.
