Design concept

A business and civic center with a total area of over 108,000 sq. m will accommodate 5,000 workplaces. The project will also include retail, an amphitheater, landscaped terraces, and adaptable public spaces. The project is being implemented as part of the redevelopment of eight former freight yards.

Location

The complex will be located in an area where the historic urban fabric coexists with a major transport hub and a creative cluster. Within walking distance are Kursky Railway Station, Kurskaya and Chkalovskaya metro stations, MCD-2 and MCD-4 stations, as well as the contemporary art and design centers Winzavod, Arma, and Artplay, and the Chkalov gallery.

Thanks to its location between Moscow’s central and eastern districts, the complex can become a new hub of business activity and a connecting element between existing and emerging business clusters.

The architectural focal point of the project will be a 40-story skyscraper. The composition will unite three interconnected volumes: a central high-rise section and two stepped lateral wings.

This solution will create an expressive urban skyline while maintaining a comfortable, human-scale environment at street level and offering businesses a wide range of options, from an entire tower for a major corporation to smaller investment units.

The complex's connection to the urban fabric will be emphasized by the building's orientation toward Kursky Railway Station Square. Its volumes will open up toward the main passenger flows, guiding movement from the metro and railway platforms toward the entrances and public areas.

The seamless integration of ground floors with the urban environment will connect the interior to the street, making the complex a continuation of established pedestrian routes rather than an isolated, enclosed territory.

Amphitheater

One of the key landscaping elements will be an amphitheater located at the ground floor level on the eastern side of the cluster. The openness of the spaces and its position along the main pedestrian flows will enhance the visual appeal of the retail premises and their commercial potential.

The walls shaping the amphitheater space will continue the project's connection to the creative context of the district. They are planned to serve as a platform for street art: invited artists will be able to design the surfaces. This will allow the visual identity of the public space to be refreshed and enriched with new works.

An important part of the architectural concept will be a system of landscaped terraces that extend the workspaces into the open air. On the third floor level, the project provides a large public green terrace, as well as areas for recreation, meetings, and work for the district's residents.
