On an area of more than 1 hectare, the architects of the AMMG studio designed a city block, completely transforming the existing landscape. For the design, a site was provided on which a morally outdated factory building was mainly located, during the reconstruction of which it was necessary to develop a complete redevelopment project – part of the buildings was subject to renovation, and the architects placed new residential buildings on the area free from development. The complex work required active work with the master plan: the authors not only thought through the logistics of movement through the territory, but also developed a full-fledged landscape project, thinking through pedestrian paths, car traffic, landscaping, and lighting. According to the developed master plan, the complex has 8 buildings of variable number of floors – they were divided according to the functional principle, placing apartments, a mini-hotel, an office block, and a city villa inside, which became the core of the composition. Townhouses were organized in two-level buildings, on the ground floors of which, according to the English tradition, having laid out private mini gardens, the city villa was given 2 plots from the north and south sides at once. In the lower part of the territory, the architects designed a public park, combining the principles of regular and landscape gardens; in the opposite part there was also a place for a small walking and green area.
According to the materials of geological surveys, the installation of underground parking would require significant material costs and did not fit into the financial model of the quarter. Parking spaces for residents of the complex were placed inside the territory, separating them into separate blocks – between cars and building facades, the authors provided green areas that cut off noise and create a new, different quality of sensations from walking around the territory. The structure of the landscaped composition is quite plastic; In some places, the landscaping line echoes the shape of a nearby house, in some places it retreats from the facade and turns into a small green "oasis", a kind of mini park, becoming the center of attraction and recreation for residents. The architects managed to think through many scenarios – for example, for a long walk with the family, a person is more likely to choose one of the parks in the far part of the site, while the "oases" are more likely to meet a small company, or a short evening walk before going to bed. Due to the low number of floors of the buildings, private gardens for residents of the first floors and the general saturation of the site with a variety of landscaping, the overall feeling created by the quarter is somewhere at the junction between urban and suburban life. This feeling is enhanced by the abundance of trees around the perimeter of the block, hiding and blurring the boundary of the building, so that from almost every point of perception inside it was possible to create the atmosphere of a club cottage village. Pergolas, flower tunnels, ponds, landscape sculptures and neoclassical lanterns bring to the aesthetics of landscaping the necessary authenticity inherent in traditional English buildings, which became the prototype for the general style of the quarter.
