The complex is represented by four skyscrapers with modifying windows layouts, various buildings height and different lines of the facades which become the united element of the city.
Evolution of the urban environment is a natural process of the modern city development. Project Symphony 34 represents the consonance of forms and materials, unity of various combined elements, complexity and integrity.. The volumes of buildings are designed to create a sense of a united, but diversified silhouette, which provides an emotion of sensitive dance.
Each tower of the complex has different architectural solution of facades. Name of towers reflect the applied construction materials which are harmonically mixed with each other. The facade of Silver tower is associated with a pure crystal or transparent prism which refracts sunlight.
The variety of complex materials underlines the complexity and the integrity of the whole composition at the same time. Copper, iron, glass and aluminum are different materials which combine and harmonize well with to each other.
Several transparent floors, encircling each tower, visually combine them into one complex. The irregular location of the towers in the plan is due to the norm of insolation.
The facade of Silver tower is associated with a pure crystal or transparent prism which refracts sunlight. The protruding bay windows - glass on one side and lined with polished aluminum on the other - are turned at different angles the way that depending of the sun the light is reflected from the panels in a slightly different way.
The construction of the highest Graphit tower represents the combination of several modules. One module is a glazed square with no seams or cuts. The sides of the square are clear and thin: the width of the frame window is 60 cm. Windows of thw building are framed with specific profile including protruding corners, which creates additional shadows on the facade. Bearing elements holding the window and grilles for ventilation grills are properly installed at the module. Grid of square windows is spread to the top of the building, but is interrupted by ribbons of windows with no framing same for all towers.
Facade of the fourth tower represents combination of vertical aluminum lamellas, which surround the facade by irregular steps, and somewhere interrupted at all. Not evident pattern makes the facade complicated and picturesque.
