"Nikolskaya sloboda" by PANAKOM
by Maria Fadeeva Exclusive architecture is a significant trend, affecting the real-estate appeal, consequently, demand and prices. Very likely, this was the main reason for the client of architectural bureau PANAKOM to commission the architects to design the three houses on the bank of the ornamental pond in the Nikolskay Sloboda which they are selling. The lots are being sold without a contract, so in the result, among huge palaces and log constructions, there can be found houses, designed by architects of different famous Moscow studios.

Confrontation at Donskoy
The concept was offered for the architectural competition for the best project of building up the area of ‘Krasny proletariy’ factory; its plan view reminds of a map of military operations between ‘modernism’ and ‘historicism’. It is noteworthy that 300 years ago at the same place the army led by Boris Godunov confronted forces of Gazy Geray. The concept is new for Moscow since it separates private and public spaces by placing them on different levels and forms more comfortable type of urban space.

It has already become a custom to say that the apartment block at Savvynskakya embankment is well-built but is far from exceptional from architectural point of view.
