«Post-factum» the logic of forming an architectural shape for the residential complex is seemed to be simple and obvious and one can think that any other solution for this site would be impossible.

 

The odd-shaped site, where earlier was the carburetor plant, is surrounded from three sides by residential buildings. It required from architects to ensure normative insolation and illumination, which resulted in erecting five towers with floor area of 500 sq. meters each along insolation rays. The composition of the complex is also caused by landscape conditions and respectful gesture towards the Holy Trinity Church. In order to compensate for any commercial losses, the designers implemented cantilevers in the upper floors. The colour solution was suggested by the painter Ivan Lubennikov.
