The new residential area being planned is situated between the existing urban housing estate to the north ofdriveway (proezd) 657 and forest area in the south.

 

The proposed variants are planned approximately for equal capacity in respect of the area of apartments, but have different treatments of organizational principles of site development.

 

Variants 1 ("chess"), 2 ("regular blocks") and 3 ("floating blocks") follow an orthogonal grid of passages and traditional principle of organization of residential unit - the yard-square or the open square. At the same time invariants 1, 2 and 3 there is essentially different scale of residential unit (125 x 75m and 160 x 113m). Each unit is rather various in respect of silhouette that results from the necessity to provide insolation. In these variantsthere is no tower type of buildings, but the complex silhouette of residential blocks compensates the rigidnessof orthogonal grid. Heights fluctuate from 6 to 12 storeys.

 

Sites of schools and kindergartens are not essentially built in the residential yards, but are located within spaces between residential groups. Main public buildings necessary on the grounds of estimation of service enterprises are located in variants 1 and 3 in a green zone along a new bed of the Kryukovka river. In variantNo. 2 the territory of a ravine is exposed to urbanization least of all, and public buildings are located on separate sites among residential buildings.

 

Variants 4 ("ships") and 5 ("yachts") do not bring into play the typology of closed spaces. Following the existing urban factory, we use the open layout with the segueing spaces. The extended plates and towers growing from them is a theme of these variants.
