Residential building
A multi‑apartment low‑rise residential building with an active terrain
Initial data: a problem with many unknowns
The plot allocated to the designers was a real “jigsaw puzzle” of problems:
• Small area: the territory was limited by existing buildings.
• Surroundings: on one side there were residential buildings, on the other — a kindergarten, which imposed additional restrictions on noise levels and safety.
• Regulatory restrictions: the building height could not exceed 15 metres, a KGIOP protected zone was in effect, and the technical and economic indicators had to be at or above a certain level for the project to remain profitable.
• Advantage: only one boundary of the plot adjoined a public garden, beyond which a river flowed.
All these factors required a non‑standard approach and a rejection of standard solutions.

All these factors required a non‑standard approach and a rejection of standard solutions.
To integrate the new residential complex into the existing environment and comply with all regulatory requirements, the architects proposed several bold and original solutions:
1. Going underground: The height restriction suggested the idea of placing public spaces – shops, a fitness center, and cafes – below ground level. This not only allowed the project to fit within the 15‑meter limit but also created a unique space with a special atmosphere.
2. Deepening the territory: The location of residential apartments on the ground floor required a special approach to ensuring the psychological comfort of the residents. To separate them from the hustle and bustle of the city and create a sense of privacy, the surrounding area was lowered to a level of -3.000 meters relative to ground level.
3. Landscaping with a height difference: The height difference, which arose as a result of the area being lowered, became not a problem but an opportunity to create a unique landscape design. The slopes were used to create terraces, walking paths, recreation areas, and green spaces, which transformed the area around the house into a real park.

It was the landscaping that became the "icing on the cake" in this challenging project. The difference in elevation was turned into a real landscape park with terraces, stairs, ramps and picturesque greenery. Cosy recreation areas, playgrounds and a spacious pedestrian zone connecting the residential complex with the public garden and the river were created.
Thanks to this comprehensive approach, we not only managed to fit the new residential complex into a complex urban environment, but also created a comfortable and attractive living space where every resident can enjoy comfort, privacy and closeness to nature.
This project is a vivid example of how unconventional solutions born of constraints can lead to unique and valuable buildings that enrich the urban environment and improve the quality of life for city residents. It proves that even the most difficult tasks can be solved when approached with creativity and innovative thinking.
