Architecture of a Low-Rise Office Complex in Central Moscow Approved

The architectural and urban planning concept for a low-rise office complex at Pyatnitskaya Street, estate 40 has been approved. The project includes two buildings of three and four storeys. This was announced by Moscow's Chief Architect Sergei Kuznetsov.

"The concept of the business complex envisages careful treatment of the city's historic landscape. The facades of the first building, facing Pyatnitskaya Street and Golikov Lane, will harmoniously blend into the existing development thanks to well-considered proportions and a restrained colour palette. The second building, located deeper within the block, will receive a more contemporary and expressive solution. Its dynamic volume, formed by intersecting planes, will be combined with the classical rhythm of window openings," said Sergei Kuznetsov.

The facades will be made of light glass-fibre reinforced concrete and natural stone. The total area of the complex will be 3,700 sq.m. It will include 10 office lots — some with terraces, others with mezzanine levels. In addition to offices, two double-level retail spaces are provided, along with a spa zone with a 15-metre pool, a gym, a restaurant, and a café. The two underground floors connecting the buildings will house parking for 22 cars and 10 storage rooms.

The project was developed by architectural bureau GA (formerly Ginzburg Architects). The developer of the Chalet project is HITECH Development.
