Gene code for a district, or poetic town-planning
A ‘design-code’ produced by Sergey Skuratov’s workshop for the 473 district in Khamovniki presents a new variant of Moscow town-planning. It is more than just a plan or a list of recommendations, it gives a detailed image of the district in project. It is interesting to note that here the architect is concerned not just with volume and texture but with ‘psychological problems’ of the locality, and tries to bring a new soul into it.

"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.

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.
