The main idea of the new restaurant is its gastronomic specialty. The "fish" theme, as well as marine, is shown everywhere. Wave textured wall plaster, blue glass bar, striped chairs and linen textiles – these carefully selected details create the image of a sea coast inviting to relax and have a leisurely meal. However, the seafood is the main here. Fish is the first thing a visitor sees entering the new restaurant. There is a 10 meter bar with an open showcase for seafood at the entrance. The bar counter is designed by Roman Leonidov and Anastasia Leonidova, they chose Bi Glass systems for the project. The architects applied prints of quotes by famous people on the glass facades so that this interior item fascinating for its size and strictness of lines wouldn’t look just like a showcase. In total, the restaurant «Gastronomica Fish» has three halls - the main (arranged around this bar counter-showcase) and two small ones, for parties up to 12 people or a private dinner for two. Floors are made of natural cleaving stone and their layered structure creates an expressive texture of the surface, resembling waves washing up on the sand.

Daring Brilliance
In this article, we are exploring “New Vision”, the first school built in the past 25 years in Moscow’s Khamovniki. The building has three main features: it is designed in accordance with the universal principles of modern education, fostering learning through interaction and more; second, the façades combine structural molded glass and metallic glazed ceramics – expensive and technologically advanced materials. Third, this is the school of Garden Quarters, the latest addition to Moscow’s iconic Khamovniki district. Both a costly and, in its way, audacious acquisition, it carries a youthful boldness in its statement. Let’s explore how the school is designed and where the contrasts lie.
A Twist of the Core
A clever and concise sculptural solution – rotating each floor by N degrees – has created an ensemble of “dancing” towers: similar yet different, simple yet complex. The designers meticulously refined a single structural node and spent considerable effort on the column construction – after that, “everything else was easy”. The architects also rotated the core walls on each floor to maximize the efficiency of the office spaces.
The Sculpting of Spring Forest Matter
We’ve been observing this building for a couple of years now: seemingly simple, perhaps even unassuming, it fits in remarkably well with the micro-district context shaped by the Moscow MCD road junctions. This building sticks in the memory of everyone who drives along the highway, even occasionally. In our opinion, Sergey Nikeshkin, by blending popular architectural techniques and approaches of the 2010s, managed to turn a seemingly simple structure into a statement “on the theme of a house as such”. Let’s figure out how this happened.
Water and Wind Whet the Stone
The Arisha Terraces residential complex, designed by Asadov Architects, will be built in a district of Dubai dedicated to film and television production. To create shaded spaces and an intriguing silhouette, the architects opted for a funnel-shaped composition and nature-inspired forms of erosion and weathering. The roofs, podium, and underground spaces extend leisure opportunities within the boundaries of a man-made “oasis”.
