The concept of development of the residential complex "Ruchyi"
St. Petersburg, territory of the enterprise "Ruchyi", uch. 111, 114, Piskarevsky prospect, 145, building 3, lit. A (I), A (II).
Designer: Invest-Consult LLC, PARITET GROUP LLC, customer: LSR. Real Estate - North-West"
The site is located in the north of the city, in the Krasnogvardeisky district. It is bounded by Piskarevsky Prospekt, Ruchevskaya Road and the "punching" of Northern Avenue (which, according to an LSR representative, will be completed by 2022). From the side of Northern Avenue, it is planned to build the Ruchyi metro station.
The center of the site has already been built up, the bureau was developing a project for the northern and southern "corners". The main limitations were the approved planning project, the low budget and the oil depot adjacent to the south, the sanitary border of which cuts off part of the territory.
The architects propose to build the northern "corner" perimeter, but the composition of the southern one turned out to be much more complicated. Groups of detached houses are separated by a "curtain" from a long building, and the garage buildings are moved forward, to the very edge of the Ruchevskaya road, where the sanitary zone lies. The parking buildings are united by a common shed, the first floors are reserved for commercial needs.
The members of the town planning council did not like the lack of accents - all buildings are 13-storey, all correspond to the permitted 40 meters in height. According to project reviewer Mikhail Sarri, "the silhouette characteristics would dissipate the North Korean spirit." Since the problem of mono-height of buildings has already become common, a proposal was made to amend the city code, according to which only a certain percentage of the total building could reach the maximum permitted height.
A lot of criticism sounded about putting on the "front" side of parking lots, a monotonous long house, wind-blown corridors, as well as indifference to metro stations, which are met by a "ladder" of houses. However, members of the City Council highly appreciated the various facade solutions. Bearing in mind the limitations of the layout and the small budget, Mikhail Sarri said that the result was "a quality product with a limited palette." To improve the concept, Mikhail Milchik suggested that the authors continue their search in the geometry of Soviet architecture of the 1970s – 1980s. ***
The concept of development of land plots on the Sverdlovskaya embankment
St. Petersburg, Sverdlovskaya emb., 12 and Kondratyevsky pr., 6.
Designer: PARITET GROUP LLC, customer: Development SPb LLC
The site in the Vyborgsky district is bounded by the Sverdlovskaya embankment, Arsenalnaya, Mineralnaya and Vatutina streets. Kondratyevsky Prospect divides it into southern and northern parts. There are five cultural heritage sites on the territory - the buildings of the Rosencrantz plant - and a guarded park, all by the embankment. In addition, the site is adjacent to a women's correctional prison and a psychiatric hospital, and the surviving factories and small businesses burden it with numerous sanitary zones.
“Studio-55” has already worked with this territory, the city council approved its concept the second time, but, according to experts, “reluctantly”. However, the main idea remains in the new project: this is the axis of the pedestrian boulevard, in the alignment of which the Smolny Cathedral is clearly visible. The boulevard was created in the likeness of Kamennoostrovsky prospect: it is formed from closed quarters and round squares.
The authors of the project are building three new streets, thus creating three quarters. Along the line of the pedestrian boulevard, a pedestrian bridge has been thrown across Kondratyevsky Prospekt. On the right side of the boulevard there is a school and two kindergartens. According to the members of the town planning council, the authors have obtained both a development concept and a territory planning project.
The architects assessed the houses to be demolished and the visibility assessed, both of which, they said, were positive. On Kondratyevsky Prospect, it is planned to preserve and adapt a historical building without a protection status for a polyclinic. The nine-storey buildings reach a maximum height of 33 meters only at the accent points, while the houses along the Neva embankment go down one floor.
The architecture of the new buildings is calm, "background". Clinker bricks of different shades were chosen as the material for the facades. From one case to another, motives and materials change slightly, which makes the architecture patchwork. Some experts saw similarities with the RC “Four Horizons”, to which “Parity Group” is also related.
The main remarks of the council members concerned two blocks beyond Kondratyevsky Prospekt, where the buildings, according to them, are becoming "sloppy" and "accidental", and many did not like the pedestrian bridge, which was proposed to be replaced by an underground passage. But on the whole, the project, which took into account the shortcomings of its predecessors, was recognized as "evolutionary" and successful. ***
Architectural and town-planning appearance of residential buildings with built-in premises and parking
St. Petersburg, st. Lagoda, 7, lit. AND.
Designer: LLC "Testing Center" Stroyexpert ", customer: LLC" NBK-Construction"
The site is located near the Bolsheokhtinsky cemetery, at the bend of the Okhta river. It is bounded by Boksitogorskoye Highway, Revolution Highway and a railway line from Ladozhsky Railway Station. Lagoda Street divides it into two parts. To the south, there is a former industrial zone and a substation.
The authors of the project proposed four detached residential buildings with a height of 20-22 floors, taking into account the possibility of deviating from the maximum heights (that is, almost 70 meters). All the first floors have built-in rooms, and on the latter the customer wanted to place workshops for artists and architects, which, according to the plan, however, coincide with the standard floors.
Members of the town planning council pointed out the main problems of the project: illogical composition (parking lots are located in the most advantageous places, and residential buildings are not water-oriented; firewalls are unreasonable), lack of access to the elementary school behind the railroad, “primitive architectural solution”. The buildings were dubbed "stubs", and in the layouts they found living quarters without windows and violations of fire regulations. ***
Draft design for the creation and installation of a monument to the Courage of Leningraders
St. Petersburg, Toreza Avenue, section 139, north of the intersection of Toreza Avenue and Polytechnicheskaya Street.
Author: Rotanov Evgeny Nikitich, initiator: Charitable Foundation named after Poghosyan Hrachya Misakovich
The Poghosyan Hrachya Misakovich Foundation was opened in 2017 specifically for the installation of this monument. In 2015, a two-stage competition was held, in which the project of the sculptor Yevgeny Rotanov won, but then no money was found for the monument. The foundation stone in the blockade square was installed even earlier - in 2006.
Evgeny Rotanov created a circular, "organ" sculpture, which he calls "an architectural stele with figures united ideologically and stylistically." Its height is 4.3 meters without a pedestal, width and depth are about one meter. The sculptural part will be made of bronze, and the pedestal from Dymkovo granite.
The only problem that the architects saw was the location of the circular sculpture against the lawn and tree, and not in free space. But because of the dense networks - the Red October plant is located nearby, and a metro line runs below - the stone cannot be placed in another place. It was proposed to remove trees or just the lawn, as well as make the pedestal higher. ***
Monument to Mikhail Dudin
Draft design for creation and installation
St. Petersburg, square b / n on B. Posadskaya street between 6, 8 and 10.
Author: Shevchenko Pavel Onufrievich, initiator: Administration of the Petrogradsky district of St. Petersburg
According to the author, he tried to combine three images: a poet, a warrior and a citizen. The expert council has already seen a life-size model of the sculpture and has approved the work. The height of the sculpture is almost three meters, and the boulder that they want to bring from the Hanko Peninsula is about 1.7 meters.
In the hall were two contemporaries of Mikhail Dudin, who knew him personally - their opinions regarding the "similarity" of the image turned out to be opposite.
Sergei Oreshkin, the author of house no. 6 on Bolshaya Posadskaya street, next to which the monument will be erected, suggested moving it closer to house no. 8: there is already a memorial plaque there, and the present place is too dark.
The size of the boulder ("who is in charge - the poet or the cobblestone?") And the posture raised doubts among the members of the city council: because of the step down, it seems that the figure is sliding off the stone, which nullifies all its pathos. ***
