LEVEL YUZHNOPORTOVAYA

The usable area of the yard is increased by dividing the yard into two levels. It also helped to achieve the maximum variety of functional areas. The paving dissolves into dense landscaping, symbolizing the transition from the urban environment to the natural.

The central axis of the courtyard is water stream, which refers to Khokhlovka River that previously flowed in this area. Some functional zones such as quiet recreation areas, children’s playgrounds, co-working spaces and sports fields are located along the stream.

The second level is formed by a rectangular slab pierced with funnels, which symbolize space- time distortions. Slab funnels allow trees to break through the surface and also to observe water stream on the ground level. The opportunity to look through these holes and see the «pristine nature» helps tenants to plunge into the history of the site.
The walking boulevard between the retail rows will also become a place of social activity. Green islands along the central axis of the boulevard form secluded recreation areas with tables and benches.

The project provides a functional variety, so each of the residents can find something suitable to spent their time in the yard. Built connections between all parts of the complex and optimized pedestrian routes make the space convenient to use. An abundance of greenery and natural landscape emphasize the modern architecture of the complex.
