Glinki-Moika Development St. Petersburg

The project is situated in the Admiralteisky district of the historical city centre of St Petersburg. The proximity of Mariinsky Theatre, New Holland development and Conservatory potentially place the Admiralteisky district into becoming the "new centre" of St Petersburg - a prime opportunity for the Glinki Moika project. The Glinki Moika development is contemporary, while in harmony with the existing urban fabric and it’s architectural articulation. The plan calls for perimeter buildings that form a classical city block, corresponding to the rigid grid system of the city. A series of elite residential buildings are to be placed in the courtyard, creating high quality exterior spaces within the perimeter buildings. This layout relates to the qualities typically found in the inner city courtyards of St. Petersburg. On-site monuments will be restored and redeveloped. The development relates to surrounding neo-classical architecture through contemporary design themes and materialisation. The perimeter buildings primarily remain intact. For the new residential buildings, structural concrete fins ensure privacy and create verticality in the glazed facades. The ground and first floor levels contain retail and leisure functions. The upper levels predominantly consist of residential functions. In addition, the plan provides for office functions and underground parking facilities. The development will integrate smoothly into the city and provide a subtle juxtaposition of contemporary sensibility with the surrounding neo-classical architecture of the city of St. Petersburg.
