Green Harbor is a large residential complex in the east part of Minsk. The development is on the territory of the former tank range, near the Stiklevo biological reserve and the only championship golf course in Belarus.
The main goal of the concept is to create an environment in which a person lives in nature with urban comfort. We paid particular attention to public spaces and places of application of labor to avoid the pendulum migration (daily traveling from home to work and back).
We were trying to implement the concept of a multifunctional district, which has everything one needs. Architecture, landscaping, and general planning solutions represent a full-fledged residential complex.
We offered the development of the first stage to be designed in the Scandinavian style. Our team opted for natural materials in the decoration of the facades. It helped to fit the architecture into the environment well. The number of stories decreases in the southern part of the site; the closer to the golf course, the lower the number of stories and the bigger the size of the plots. The biggest sites with cottages of different configurations are adjacent to the golf course line.
In the upper part, two and three-story residential buildings with a semi-closed configuration make it possible to arrange personal courtyard spaces. On the same line as multi-story buildings, there are urban villas. We designed them with public spaces on the first floors in the central part of the site. They formed a community center with their facades. Between the cottages and the multi-story development, we placed townhouses with three options for facade solutions.
