Commissioned by the Mirax Group, the building creates a new model for residential living. The apartments are organized around a series of 4-storey sky gardens which serve as communal spaces for each group of residents. Each of these glass enclosed volumes serve as environmental buffer zones which are integrated into the building's ventilation strategy. From the exterior, these sky gardens create the tower's signature visual porosity. Additional common space is developed on the roof of the 4-storey podium which is landscaped to provide a 'village green' overlooking the Moscow river.
The project also incorporates recreational facilities, retail shops, restaurants, kindergarten and elementary schools, and parking for 2,200 cars........more
