A one-stage creative blitz competition for a sketch-idea for the development of a 9-hectare site on Krasnokazarmennaya Street has ended, instead of houses number 14 behind the MPEI building, next to the eastern border of the the giant plant will be LDA design).
On the site, which is now surrounded by fences and sheds and generally looks semi-industrial, although, judging by Yandex maps, it does not have the status of an industrial zone; it is not planned to save anything on the territory. Nine hectares will accommodate: 200 thousand m2 housing for about 4570 people, a three-storey kindergarten, 100 thousand m2 offices, a number of cafes and shops on the ground floors (11 thousand m2). The height restriction is 75 meters, the permissible number of floors is from 14 to 21. The customer of the competition is the Morton company (MORTON Development Center LLC), the organizers are the CMA and the Regional Center for Urbanism. 31 projects participated in the competition, the jury awarded one first and one second place, eight more works were included in the short list. We publish all ten finalist projects.
Winner
"Suprematism" / 8D architects
The project is based on a pedestrian boulevard, an axis laid diagonally from Hammer and Sickle, the future large residential area of the Don-Stroy company, to the Entuziastov shosse metro station, from northwest to southeast. Along the perimeter of the territory, the architects placed eighteen residential towers with the same square in the plan and different facades; the lower parts of the houses are glass, and at different heights, the upper ones are covered with denser matter, remotely hinting at the levitation of stone volumes at different heights above the ground. Since the towers, following the whimsical contour of the site, are rotated at different angles, there is a feeling of dance (for some reason, I recall the canvases "Avangard" by Eric Egeraat). Apartments are different, from one-bedroom apartments to penthouses with terraces. The office complex and parking lot are stretched along the upper border of the site - Krasnokazarmenny proezd.
Second prize
"Annenhof Park" / A. Asadov Architectural Bureau
The proposed name of the complex - "Annenhof Park" - reflects the historical past of this place: the territory of the complex is adjacent to the former Annenhof Grove: in the 18th century the grove ended somewhere here and although now there is little left of it, some fragments are preserved in the form of squares. to the largest of which, in front of the Armored Academy (the former Catherine Palace) in a straight line for about a kilometer. To Lefortovo Park, the remainder of the part of Annenhof adjoining the Yauza (and also earlier - the park of the Golovinsky Palace, and later the Ekaterininsky), from the residential complex - 2 kilometers. The authors view all these green spaces as recreational for future residents.
In the project of the architects of A. Asadov's bureau, the complex consists of four groups of buildings - one office and three residential. Offices are like crystals - three polyhedron buildings are placed at different angles, united by a stylobate and linked to the central spatial axis of the future Hammer and Sickle complex.
Three groups of residential buildings of different heights are lined up in blocks along the perimeter of the courtyards. The parking lots occupy two underground and one ground floor, so the courtyards are elevated relative to the adjacent territories and transport access is limited. Greened squares and boulevards inside the residential complex, as well as the adjoining kindergarten and shops, are separated from the roadway.
Shortlisted projects
According to the terms of the competition, eight projects that were shortlisted may in the future be involved in creative competitions and projects of the Morton Group of Companies and the Regional Center for Urbanism.
Vladimir Kuzmin, Ekaterina Shornikova, Alisa Mamaeva
Residential buildings are inscribed in four closed quarters with a rigid orthogonal layout, delimited by green boulevards. The offices are located closer to the Entuziastov highway, are planned in the same orthogonal way, and are turned to residential buildings at an angle of 45 degrees. They are supposed to protect homes from highway noise; while offices are additionally separated from housing by greenery. All buildings are visually united by high-rise beacon towers placed at their corners.
Archimedes PLUS
The project offers three distinct zones. On the side of Krasnokazarmenny Passage and the "Serp and Molot" Plant Passage, there are long sectional residential buildings that hide square-shaped tower houses located in the depths of the quarter, placed with seeming randomness. An imposing building adjoins the Enthusiasts Highway and Aviamotorny Proezd, which is similar in its plan and facade character to the neighboring MPEI. The third zone is a 7-12-20-storey business center of rather restrained forms and with strict, all-glass facades.
Robert Podyapolsky, Alexander Shabanov
In this project, the area looks more like a small natural park, the outlines of which are dictated by the location of the houses built around it. Houses - several square towers, a zigzag, books and plates - protect the park located inside. The authors proposed mixing housing and offices in order to stimulate movement along the central green area and "integrate nature into the daily life of citizens."
Vadim Lukin, Oleg Ryzhaev
The authors propose a clear division of functional areas while maintaining a single style concept. The buildings are reminiscent of Le Corbusier's buildings, raised above the ground, with pillars and flat roof terraces.
*** Konstantin Konovaltsev, Oleg Konovaltsev, Olga Tishchenko
The main "characters" of this project are the corners. Here the visual perception of various arrangements and combinations of acute and obtuse angles comes to the fore - both in the plan, and in the facades, and in the geometrized outlines of green zones. This is facilitated by the color scheme of the facades, as if composed of giant distorted Tetris figures.
Office buildings here are separated from residential buildings and designed in such a way as to protect residents from noise from the Entuziastov highway. The residential ones, on the other hand, are set in the depths of the site, avoiding uninsulated courtyards and northern facades.
*** Elena Popova, Vera Bedretdinova, Olga Mranova
The concept assumes rather densely spaced houses of different storeys with several dominant high-rise towers.
Evgeny Didorenko, Alexander Shtanyuk
Residential and office areas are separate from each other. The dwelling is located on the side of Krasnokazarmenny passage and consists of three towers and two blocks with courtyards inside. Two office buildings are moved to the Entuziastov highway: one is square, the other is rectangular, both have modest-sized courtyards-wells.
Architectural Bureau "Fourth Dimension"
For the module of the planning grid in this project, a rhombus is taken - a figure that can give limitless possibilities when creating ornaments and patterns. The complex consists of many high-rise buildings with a rhombus in plan and rounded corners. The drawing of the facades develops the theme of simple geometrical figures - squares and circles are used here.
