OPEN BLOCK BELYAEVO/ CLIFF HOUSE

OPEN block BELYAEVO

Team project.

LOCATION: Belyaevo, Moscow, Russia.

AREA: 25 600 sq.m.

DIMENSIONS: 150x 150 m.

For this block we had an inside competition with eight conceptions. Belyaevo is one of the oldest panel buildings district and its assumed life span will soon expire. So we desided to create such an enviroment as it supposed to be by design in Belyaevo, but by using other methods. In the block there are two panel nine-floor buildings and one twelve-floor. Space between buildings filled with trees planted by locals in 60-s.
