The “River Park” housing complex is built by the AEON and Ferrostroi companies in the south of Moscow – its territory stretches along the western bank of Nagatinsky backwater. The first six southern blocks of “River Park”, situated in its south part on the city side, were designed by Ostozhenka Architects and built in 2013-2018. The next five blocks, built in a line more to the north in the backwater’s bank, were commissioned by the developer to ADM architects headed by Andrey Romanov and Ekaterina Kuznetsova. The two blocks closest to the river are now in the process of implementation. The other three, occupying the central part of the complex, have been completed and commissioned; they consist of 9 buildings ranging in height from 16 to 18 floors. We will examine them in this article. 

The overall structure of “River Park” appears to be exceptionally lucky – these are three blocks with an open contour. This means that each block consists of three individual houses, there is a passage between them, yet they are perceived as a single city block.

We have used three types of houses in River Park. The first type is the red tower. Its facade is constructed like this: the building starts from a simple grid and then goes to a folded texture. The bay windows at the top are volumetric, and at the bottom they seem to dissolve into the plane of the wall. We have three such towers, and they protrude to the embankment. The second type is a beige terraced house, on which, at the request of the client, we made a cascade of terraces facing the water. There are also three such houses. The third type consists of buildings with recessed bay windows. The same principle of gradual increase in the volume of bay windows to the upper floors is used here, but unlike the towers, this happens asymmetrically, making the facade look more dynamic.
