Won in an international design competition, this 389 apartment Premium Class residential development is the first project to be realised in the 8 hectare REPUBLIC master plan located in the center of Moscow, close to Belorusskya railway station. Our concept approach for these two residential buildings is to provide a well-mannered design, responding to the urban context on the south of the site by stepping down the massing of the building to the human scale along the main street, Presnensky Val, and creating an interesting, dynamic silhouette to the skyline. Brick, used as a primary façade material, reflects the material of the retained heritage buildings on the site. Corner windows have been designed to offer panoramic views of Moscow.

Concept Design, 2022, Steve Brown Architecture with Özge Saka Mimarlik

Competition entry in response to a brief for design solutions for the facades of a multifunctional business-class residential complex on a 22 hectare site in the north west of Moscow.

Our design concept responds to the desire to establish a unity and a dialogue with the landscaping and park interior of the project, selecting themes of nature to influence the patterns, colours and materials of the facades. Reflecting the organic compositions found in nature - growth, verticality, fractals, organic patterns etc. to create a dialogue between the architecture and the landscape, between living and relaxing, and to reinforce an overall feeling of nature and vitality.

“Imagine a journey, that brings our community in Hammersmith, people of all ages and nationalities, closer to art and nature.

On two levels, urban routes connect Lyric Square to Cambridge Grove, the River, Ravenscourt Park and beyond. The upper path passes through a wild landscape with iconic urban sculptures bringing dazzling colour and imagery from the natural world, a city scale art installation.

Illuminated glass flowers lead to a destination gallery… and channel daylight via solar collectors and LED cables to the lower path which passes through revitalised arches creating precious community gallery space for art exhibition and more.”
