Project of a retail and administration centre. The site for construction is confined by Bogatyrsky Prospekt, Prospekt
Sizova and the radial thoroughfare between them. The town-planning
significance of this site is based on the axis of Komedantsky prospekt
and the nature of the residential buildings in the district, which
formed in the 1970s-1990s.
The building is a composition of two vertical equal volumes on a
developed stylobate. In the stylobate (entry floor) are a shopping
centre and the entry lobby of a business center. The administrative
buildings “open out” to Komendantsky prospekt with their radial facades,
and with the symmetrical planes of the back facades form the corner of
Bogatyrsky propsekt and Prospekt Sizova. The axis of Komedantsky
prospekt is perceived as a gap between vertical spaces through their
entire height. On the top of the stylobate, it is proposed to place a
square where city residents, employees and visitors of the complex can
relax. The main shape-forming details of the facade are the tiered
overhanging sections of the floors. This technique gives the building a
characteristic silhouette that is necessary in this town-planning
situation.
The outer vertical wall of the stylobate is lined with natural
stone. The inclined walls are covered in green grass. The walls of the
administrative buildings are stained-glass translucent constructions
with a system of horizontal metallic shutters.
