High-Rise Accents of Living District
A modern residential complex will be situated in the quarter between Bogdanovicha St., Izmaylovskaya St., Turgenyeva St. and Verhniy Lane. Convenient location in top city area not far from the city center, transportation accessibility - its main advantages. Developed infrastructure, a variety of recreational areas, modern construction concept, adopted as a basis, additionally improve quality of living in this complex. High-rise buildings of 15 to 26 stories will form a new image of the Bogdanovich St.
District Gets A New Look
The idea of making this project was born in Anatoliy Tsejtlin’s architectural bureau ‘Tvorcheskaya Masterskaya – 7’ aiming to give a modern look to one of the important city streets which citizens of Minsk still associate with individual houses area.
Given the terrain elevation drop of almost six meters on the construction site, we decided to eliminate talus on the Bogdanovicha St. and place underground garage with built-in premises for public use. On the roof-top of this object multistory buildings, pedestrian area, places for relaxation and children playgrounds will be situated.
In accordance with architectural project, complex includes three 26-story residential high-rises with magazines and a garage, four 15-story residential buildings with offices and free-standing public shopping center with garage.
The main highways that provide access to the residential areas are transportation hubs Surganova St.– Orlovskaya St.- Square Bangalor
A New Life of Old Series
The entire complex is designed in the framework of the 1-020 series of precast concrete with a filling of gas silicate blocks. Series 1-020, developed many years ago for construction of public buildings, is nowadays actively used for building of apartment blocks. Complex on Bogdanovicha St. is largest of all similar projects in Minsk that that use this construction system.
Despite the fact that one of the features of the framework is that it is outdated, the authors of the project managed to create an original architectural project.
Composition volumes of high-rises are joined with pedestrian platform, situated above 2-story garage and public premises.
The entire area is strictly separated into zones: parking is placed under pedestrian platform, premises of public services have access directly from Bogdanovicha St. Public services include restaurants, café, fitness-center, technical goods store, bank, supermarket, multiplex cinema with three halls, children amusement center.
A 2-story garage has capacity of 1400 automobile places. A bigger part of the garage is designated for the apartment residents. They have direct link with underground garage through spiral ramps from the complex courtyard.
Residential zone starts from the 3rd floor. Despite the fact that apartment blocks don’t have enhanced comfort, flats are functionally well organized. Apartments designed for one section of building are repeated on all stories above, but in the next section they are different. One-, two- and three-room flats with total area varying from 51 to 143 m2 have spacious living room, comfortable kitchens, glazed loggias. Through the apartment windows residents will be able to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the city, including a picturesque recreation zone – park «Druzba narodov». Four-story office and shopping building, standing separately in a pedestrian platform also has two lower levels, predefined for the parking garage and retail premises. The glass construction façade of this building is facing Bogdanovicha St.
Residential sections, 15-stories high, will form a background structure, bordering the complex with individual housing area. Thus, free-standing high-rises set forth seem to hold the open territory of the complex – that’s how the authors of this project express the idea of the depths of space.
Preliminary calculations of insulation convince us that the apartments will have enough daylight. Rays of sunlight will fall even on the 1st floor apartment windows of the high-rises, despite the indissoluble line of 15-story sections.High-Rise Accents
26-story buildings as an integral part of the residential complex were designed before the introduction of the TKP «High-rise buildings. Building design standards». Therefore the height had to be «adjusted» in accordance with this document.
Investor’s wish to build higher than it was allowed brought to a compromise solution: to combine the 25th and technical floor to and make two-level apartments. Investor received the project approval by the Expert Council in the Ministry of Emergency Situations of R. Belarus to apply compensating measures, in particular autonomous fire-fighting system on the 26th floor.
