Description

The facades solution is based on a combination of extensive glass paned surfaces with blank walls finished with natural stone, which allows for the whole structure to blend into its historical architectural environment. Art Nouveau reminiscences manifest themselves through natural stone, rocky texture of the walls, and trapezoidal tops of the window openings.

A Binary Opposition

At Tverskaya street in Saint Petersburg, almost in front of each other, two residential buildings have been constructed that are antipodes in terms of style. This is an extraordinary situation, not only for our workshop, but perhaps for the city as a whole (at least if you take the 21st century). A new article at archi.ru describes the buildings in detail.
