About Firm:

Moscow architectural studio “Atrium” was established in 1994 by Vera Butko and Anton Nadtochiy. Primarily they were known as the authors of ultra-contemporary private interiors and houses. But for the last 10 years they have worked a lot on the urban scale. There are 70 preliminary project concepts and planning schemes made for “Donstroy” company by “Atrium”, a masterplan for the district in Krasnodar, several educational buildings, interiors of “RuArts” gallery, showroom “Capellini”, three offices for Russian search engine “Yandex”. Two buildings are currently under construction: athletic and educational complex with residential block near the center of Moscow (43 000 sq.m), and multifunctional complex with shopping mall (160 000 sq. m). Bureau is laureate of different Russian architectural and design awards, including two for greenbuilding in 2010.

Everything we ever design is architecture, and it doesn’t matter if it is a table, or a highrise. We believe that architecture is an abstract art of form and space. We don’t like to talk about literary meanings and artistic gestures. Details are designed in our projects as a part of whole story but not as a décor. We try to avoid stereotypes – to make not a sum of corridors and rooms, but to expand it from one to another.

Julia Tarabarina. Centipede Town

The new school campus designed by ATRIUM Architects, located on the shores of a protected lake in the Imeretian Lowland Ornithological Reserve, represents an important and ambitious undertaking for the team: this is not just a school, but a Presidential Lyceum for the comprehensive development of gifted children – 2,500 students from age 3 through high school. At the same time, it is also envisioned as a new civic hub for the entire Sirius territory. In this article, we unpack the structure and architecture of this “lyceum town”.

Julia Tarabarina. The Whale of Future Identity

Or is it a veil? Or a snow-covered plain? Vera Butko, Anton Nadtochy, and the architects of ATRIUM faced a complex and momentous task: to propose a design for the “Russia” National Center. It had to be contemporary, yet firmly rooted in cultural codes. Unique, and yet subtly reminiscent of many things at once. It must be said – the task found the right authors. Let’s explore in detail the image they envisioned.

Julia Tarabarina. Word Forms

ATRIUM architects love ambitious challenges, and for the firm’s thirtieth anniversary, they boldly play a game of words with an exhibition that dives deep into a self-created vocabulary. They immerse their projects – especially art installations – into this glossary, as if plunging into a current of their own. You feel as if you’re flowing through the veins of pure art, immersed in a universe of vertical cities, educational spaces – of which the architects are true masters – and the cultural codes of various locations. But what truly captivates is the bold statement that Vera Butko and Anton Nadtochy make, both through their work and this exhibition: architecture, above all, is art – the art of working with form and space.

Julia Tarabarina. A New Starting Point

We’ve been wanting to examine the RuArts Foundation space, designed by ATRIUM for quite a long time, and we finally got round to it. This building looks appropriate and impressive; it amazingly combines tradition – represented in our case by galleries – and innovation. In this article, we delve into details and study the building’s historical background as well.

Julia Tarabarina. The Mastery of Counterpoint

In the sculpture of Classical Greece, counterpoint was first invented: the ability to position the human body as if it were about to take a step, imbuing it with a hint of the energy of future movement, and with hidden dynamics. For architecture, especially in the 20th century and now, this is also one of the main techniques, and the ATRIUM architects implement it diligently, consistently – and always slightly differently. The new residential complex “Richard” is a good example of such exploration, based on the understanding of contrasts in the urban environment, which was fused into the semblance of a living being.
