This eight-floor building seamlessly integrates with the surrounding Shabolovka area, known for its timeless architectural elegance.

Hallways: Innovative light installations seamlessly integrated into the walls create a captivating effect, reflecting on the natural marble and enhancing the perception of space. The hallways were designed to provide a private and serene oasis, offering respite from the city's hustle and bustle. Dark inserts complement the light color palette, while echoing the design elements of the lobby's reception desk.
Materials: The timeless allure of natural marble as the floor covering contributes to an enduring aesthetic and a sustainable living environment. The sleek and modern steel finishes of the elevators add an industrial touch while exuding durability and sophistication. Pylons and architraves crafted from natural stone create a visually appealing and cohesive atmosphere. Tailor-made interior pieces, such as decorative panels, a reception desk, cornices, and wall lights, were meticulously designed to emphasize the luxury status of the residential development.

The focus was on designing inviting communal areas that complemented the architectural style of the facades while providing a sense of privacy and tranquility.
