Gradual spiral raising of the building from six storeys at Revolyutsionnaya St. to twelve storeys towards thetower of URALSIB Bank integrates two mega-objects in a integral composition. They form a couple with stable equilibrium. The bulk of new building moves away from the front of development deep into the site in order not to suppress visually the adjoining low development. The unusual form, expressive silhouette and ultramodern decoration define the metropolitan image of the object and its readiness to purport to be one of the most significant projects in the region.
The building has double energy saving facades, the basic inside layer represents an aluminum translucent system with double multiple glass panes. The external layer is a decorative cover of hardened glass processed by method of magnetron sputtering with different colour tones for each facade part that gives polarizationeffect. Colour tones change when an observer moves along the facade, reminding northern lights. The interesting internal structure of the hotel and business center with multilevel atriums and panoramic elevators supports the high international standard for such luxury buildings.
The building layout enables, if necessary, to increase the business center areas due to reduction of the numberof hotel rooms. The preliminary design means to allot the whole 1st floor area and a part of the Ground floorarea for needs of the business center. The main part of the Ground floor is occupied by hotel function.
