The new multifunctional complex on Mechnikova Street consists of three residential towers (one high-rise and two lower), placed on a single base. The inner areas of the stylobate are intended for a shopping center, and its roof will be transformed into a landscaped adjoining territory with a total area of 6,000 sq. The proposed solution for the public space supports the general concept of the project - against the background of the city's silhouette, the towers should become a noticeable, iconic stroke of the architect's pen. Hence the name of the entire project - Signature ("signature").
The main paved surface of the public area is "lined" with green areas, which architects call "Van Gogh strokes" and with their help set the direction of movement. An extensive type of landscaping was chosen, which reduces the load on the floors and does not require constant expensive maintenance. In addition to various resting places with benches and mobile tubs with trees, the project provides for a restaurant with a separate parking lot, a special "cave" opposite it for concerts and performances, a shallow reservoir where you can walk barefoot in the heat, a fountain spouting straight from the ground, the jets of which " part "when a person approaches, an exhibition area, a variety of" climbing frames "for children, a gazebo, three viewing platforms, as well as a special area of interactive projections that react to people's behavior. The last solution can be called a signature technique of the Ukrainian bureau. Another such attraction is the light strip around the main tower: it changes color and brightness depending on the number of people around and the intensity of their movements. Finally, the evening lighting built into the pavement highlights the different areas of the courtyard and also indicates the direction of travel.
The solutions proposed by the architects are not only spectacular, but also practical: the main playground, for example, they placed exactly between two towers to make it easier to keep an eye on the children, the greenery stripes around the towers are designed to trap the heated air coming from the facades, and the stage shell is supposed to be turned so that so that the performance can be watched directly from the restaurant, but loud sounds do not disturb anyone.
Construction work is already underway and should be completed in 2018. Then the residents of the complex will have a unique opportunity to calmly walk on the roofs and enjoy the views of the city right in their courtyard. But already now you can carefully explore the entire local area with the help of a specially created computer game. You can download the game for the Windows operating system
