The clubhouse, called “Tochka Otscheta” (“The Starting Point”), is located in Zhukovka, on a street aptly named “Sosnovy Bor” (“Pine Forest”), which is a small offshoot of the Rublevo-Uspenskoe Highway. To illustrate the prestige of the location, many examples could be offered, but we’ll choose an architectural one: not far away, closer to the villa community of Barvikha, stands a villa designed by Zaha Hadid, which developer Vladislav Doronin once intended to give as a gift to Naomi Campbell.

Quite nearby, there is yet another project by international architects – the Jewish Religious and Cultural Center, designed by Gensler. However, neither this building nor the “Podmoskovnye Vechera” restaurant located on the other side influences the new construction – there’s enough space under the pines for all, with the buildings standing separately like islands, offering a sense of seclusion.

As a result, the main context defining the project became the ancient pine trees, the site’s most valuable asset. The four-story building’s height does not exceed the tree canopies, the windows reveal picturesque views, and the cladding materials harmonize with the colors of the bark, soil, and the pine needles.
