Julia Tarabarina. CinemaHologram
Not long ago, the Moscow authorities approved the project for a new House of Cinema complex by Kleinewelt Architekten. The original 1968 building could not be preserved – yet the architects managed to save its stained-glass panels, metal reliefs, and even the volumetric parameters of the structure, which will continue to house the Union of Cinematographers and cinema halls. The project’s main focal point, however, will be a residential tower. We examine its sculptural qualities and its allusions within the Moscow context.

Julia Tarabarina. Needles of Horizon Contemplation
The “House of Horizons”, designed by Kleinewelt Architekten in Krylatskoye, is carefully thought out at the stereometric level – from the logic of how the volumes interlock (and, conversely, how gaps are articulated between them) to the triangular balconies that give the building its striking, slightly bristling silhouette.

Alyona Kuznetsova. The Keystone of Khodynka
Kleinewelt Architekten has designed yet another office center for the last remaining plot on the former runway of Khodynka Airfield – a project that will complete the ensemble of the Stone business cluster on this site. The fourth phase includes a 250-meter landmark tower, a 16-story building, and a podium with a cascade of public spaces. The architects continue to develop their theme of contrasts, adding to the spatial pair “horizontal-vertical” a new opposition of warmth and cold, fragility and strength, calm and momentum.

Julia Tarabarina. The Silver Skates
The STONE Kaluzhskaya office quarter is accompanied by two residential towers, making the complex – for it is indeed a single ensemble – well balanced in functional terms. The architects at Kleinewelt gave the residential buildings a silvery finish to match the office blocks. How they are similar, how they differ, and what “Silver Skates” has to do with it – we explore in this article.

. The Keystone
Until quite recently, premium residential and office complexes in Moscow were seen as the exclusive privilege of the city center. Today the situation is changing: high-quality architecture is moving beyond the confines of the Third Ring Road and appearing on the outskirts. The STONE Kaluzhskaya business center is one such example. Projects like this help decentralize the megalopolis, making life and work prestigious in any part of the city.see All Archi.ru Texts / Nikolay Pereslegin
