This time, the housing was designed for the climatic conditions of southern Siberia - as a conditional site, a plot of 153 hectares was proposed near the village of Kainskaya Zaimka, Novosibirsk Region, where a cooperative of young scientists of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences plans to settle. Contestants had to fit into the limit of 25 thousand rubles. for 1 sq.m., as well as standards for energy and resource conservation. Houses had to be arranged in blocks with front gardens, green areas or courtyards.
Given the location of the competition village, the victory of the Novosibirsk "Architectural Bureau of Contemporary Design VII", which better than others mastered the local climatic features and preferences of potential clients from among scientists, turned out to be natural. In addition, the architects did not confine themselves to any one typology and submitted to the competition all possible options for low-rise buildings.
Two-storey square houses with a warm garage are designed for a family of up to 5 people. They look quite charming due to large windows, balconies and terraces. The village formed from such houses gradually grows into the forest existing on the site. The authors consider it very important that the houses meet the needs of their future residents - young scientists and teachers of Akademgorodok, and their lifestyle - "in nature, with the whole family, in the yard, on the street, with ski relay races, with volleyball on Fridays." The explanatory note even cites an ecological legend from the life of the Novosibirsk Academgorodok of the 60s, when Academician Lavrentyev himself, in anger, expelled from work not the most mediocre scientist, "accused of attempting to kill a little Christmas tree on New Year's Eve." The projected village, according to the authors, may well become a backup satellite of the Academgorodok, so its houses should be "more modest and simpler, hide in the forest and not interfere with the landscape."
It is curious that the authors reacted without enthusiasm to the built-in retail premises included in the competition task - according to the architects, scientists do not need stores, but they reduce the level of comfort of the dwelling itself.
The 3-storey apartment block proposed by the same winning bureau received a separate award. The built-in premises provide for the placement of "quiet" service objects - hairdressing salons, pharmacies, artists' workshops, etc.
The best project of an individual residential building was proposed by the Novosibgrazhdanproekt Design Institute. This is a completely energy-independent housing: due to low heat losses in summer, the house produces more electricity than it needs, and stores it for the winter. To increase the efficiency of using solar energy allows the correct orientation of the house to the cardinal points: a gentle slope of the roof faces to the south, where vacuum solar collectors are located for hot water supply and heating the house in the summer, and solar panels. The northern, steeper slope serves as a wind deflector canopy.
As an option, a five-walled house is proposed for a family of two generations, with the possibility of running a family business, such as a home kindergarten or a craft workshop.
The Moscow Bureau of Architectural and Design Solutions "Five" won in the nomination "The best project of a block house", which offered multi-colored townhouses very reminiscent of Dutch social housing. Glazed openings, almost flat roofs and bright colors give them a European look.
The awards “For the best technological solution” and “For the best ecological solution” were received by the Moscow “Design workshop“Berezin and Blagodetelev”. The houses designed by them look quite stylish for the economy class - multi-apartment buildings, for example, resemble buildings in elite cottage settlements. They consist of two asymmetrical and seemingly creeping volumes, sheathed with wooden siding panels alternately with extensive glazing. The buffer spaces formed along the facades of the unheated glazed loggias will make it possible to achieve high energy efficiency.
The project carried out by the Orenburggrazhdanproekt institute was named "The best energy efficient solution" - due to the use of solar energy, coupled with an increase in the thermal resistance of the walls and special glass units with energy-saving spraying.
The winner of the prize "For the best project of a young family's dwelling" was the Chelyabinsk "Architectural workshop" Pinar ". The architects proposed the most free layouts of studio apartments with a wide space of the exploited roof - here residents can arrange a picnic area with light awnings, arrange greenhouses, or build on a full-fledged second floor.
