Kommunarka is one of the centers of the zamkadye construction boom, intensified because it is part of New Moscow. From 2010 to 2015, up to 80 houses and about 20,000 apartments were built here - Kommunarka has long been not a village, but a group of densely built up microdistricts, or, as they are now called, residential complexes awaiting the launch of new metro stations promised by 2019. Quite a lot in Kommunarka is being built by the Krost concern. In 2008-2010, the Edalgo complex, designed by Olga Aleksakova and Yulia Burdova from Buromoscow, appeared in the eastern part of Kommunarka - multi-storey: 70,000 m2 housing, but a positively colorful complex, decorated with many asymmetrically spaced balconies. It is similar to Krost's other project, Wellton Park, and looks pretty modern.
Construction of the second residential complex with the hereditary name Garden Park Edalgo, this time in the southwestern part of Kommunarka, on an area of 3.5 hectares opposite the pond, began in 2011 and was completed in 2014. As in the previous "Edalgo", the houses here are high: from 12 to 25 floors, but compact, each with one, rarely two sections, and are placed around the boulevard - a landscaped park over the Sosenka River taken into the collector, which feeds local ponds. The inner boulevard is car-free, equipped with playgrounds, bike paths and landscaped by the bureau of the Milanese landscape designer Emmanuel Bortolotti.
The architecture of the complex, buyers, discussing their choice, admit Yu t noticeable. In the project developed by the architectural division of Krost "A-Proekt.k", as the developers claim, there is not a single building alike - and at the same time, all buildings are subordinated to a common style. The appearance of the facades is built on a combination of large spots: terracotta-brick, faced with bricks, restrained plaster white and gray - and rare bright "panels of clinker tiles", which against the general background may seem interspersed with giant decorative carpets hung on the walls. Compared to the rather colorful first "Edalgo", the second complex turned out to be larger, but somewhat more respectable due to the white-terracotta scale. Shops and coffee shops have already opened on the first floors of the houses, which should turn the residential complex into a city, upholstered in accordance with the ideals of modern urbanism, and simply the comfort of residents.
The newest house, the last building of Garden Park Edalgo - a three-section house called "Legend No. 18" - started in 2015 and was just commissioned in the 3rd quarter of 2016. It was decided to build it later, on the roof of a ground parking lot at the southwestern border of the complex. The one-tier parking lot was built on, turning it into a wide stylobate of 14 meters height, which houses: the parking itself, shops, a children's center and other infrastructure.
A garden with playgrounds was laid out on the roof of the stylobate, it has up to 7000 flowers, along the perimeter it is fenced with a two-meter lattice fence and stylized "teeth" growing from the walls of the base - this solution is compared by developers with a vertical city and hanging gardens. Indeed, leaving the "growing" on the roof of the stylobate house-plate, tenants will find themselves, on the one hand, in their yard, and on the other hand - at the height of a four-storey building. The facades of the three-section plate echo with other Edalgo buildings by a combination of dark terracotta facing bricks and light plaster, but they look, in the spirit of modern trends, somewhat more laconic: at the bottom of the vertical, at the top there is a light "wave" with almost ribbon horizontal windows. However, the dark brick is diluted with bright inserts of warm shades that echo the striped colors of the lower volume.
All houses of the residential complex Edalgo are monolithic-frame, and combine a reinforced concrete frame with filling with large-format porous ceramic blocks Porotherm 51. The blocks have a high thermal resistance, and therefore the walls built from them do not require additional insulation. The wall thickness is 510 mm and only 18 blocks are required for 1 m² of wall.
Under the Porotherm brand, the Wienerberger concern produces blocks of several types, differing in heat capacity and thermal resistance. The maximum number of floors that can be built from each block without additional reinforcement of the masonry depends on their thickness. All Russian products of the Wienerberger company comply with GOST 530-2007 and the Ecomaterial 1.3 standard, which means that the material is recommended for the construction and reconstruction of housing, preschool institutions, schools, medical institutions.
