Rebirth Of The Tower

The residential tower-house of Pavel Andreev's workshop is carefully inscribed in its architectural environment - however, at the same time, the house turns out to be an expressive sketch on the theme of "context and modernity", presenting to any interested viewer an almost theatrical plot of the transformation of "hard" modernism into "contextual" You can even empathize with him
