Designing the residential quarter proved for us boring and exciting at the same time. Each 3D idea was to be verified and approved for a few dozen parameters, gradually (and preferably quickly) zeroing in on the optimum solution. Some "fancy" ideas would go and fall apart, and some would prove ineffective at the first reality check. Eventually, we settled for the optimum, from our standpoint, layout solution that gave us some freedom in terms of shaping our buildings and at the same time covered all such "nuisances" as insolation, fire prevention requirements, minimization of vertical communication units, distancing the parking spaces (even of EV's) from the residential buildings and the public area that we positioned close to the rest area above the main highway spiral that runs through the quarter. The buildings were positioned from South to North, opening up to the view of the Technopark. The two side buildings, however, got a bent-shaped layout so as to help prolong the housing line and maximally secure the inner courtyards. From the north and from the south sides, these buildings rest upon the slopes of the hills, inside one of which an extra parking garage is built, while the other contains the residential quarter security office. The middle building got bent twice, making room for the fitness center and the already-mentioned "hanging square" - these two swallowing one of the communication blocks. Yet another one merges with the parking garage covered with a green roof. Initially, this area had been meant to be used as a dance hall and was pierced with giant vertical glass tubes delivering the light from above through the deck of the roof to the shadow zone and working as lamps in the night time. The two side buildings got slightly slanted at their ends, this accentuating the beginning and the end of the movement along the arc of the block.
