About the project
The two-story building is positioned at the center of a park zone, with one facade facing a bend of the Moscow River and the other facing the residential development. The architecture is built on two key ideas formulated during the design process: a tactful dialogue with the park and waterfront context and positioning as a significant compositional and semantic focal point of the territory.
All functional zones are unified into a flexible structure offering visitors various interaction scenarios. The facility aspires to become an important neighborhood hub — thanks to its flexible layout, it can easily adapt to changing community needs.

Facades
The southwest and northwest facades are entirely glazed: from inside, one can observe trees swaying in the wind, the calm flow of the river, and couples and families with children strolling along the promenade. The glass facade dissolves the boundary between interior and park, as if inviting nature to become an integral part of the architectural visual language.
The remaining facades are nearly solid: between the deliberately brutalist, concrete-rendered volumes with rounded edges, narrow vertical glazed niches create intrigue and beckon visitors inside.
The building's artistic image is governed by the theme of water — the flowing contours of monolithic volumes facing the residential quarters, the stainless steel cladding on the underside of the cantilevered roof with a texture imitating water ripples, a double-height oval atrium at the pavilion's center that, like a whirlpool, "blends" all the building's spaces and "spills" onto the landscaped accessible roof as an elegant oval amphitheater.
Accessible roof
A wide open staircase, following the spiral that unfurls from the atrium-funnel, connects the park space with the landscaped rooftop. The staircase runs straight up from the street, dramatically "breaking through" the end facade. This makes the roof a natural extension of the park, and the pavilion itself also gains the function of a belvedere.
Project completion
The Shagal City Pavilion was commissioned in summer 2025.
This is an example of a radical rethinking of the urban real estate sales office typology, incorporating multiple functions. Spaces united by a single vision have no rigid boundaries and produce a synergistic effect. In this way, we returned to the park the space that was taken from it for the building's construction.
