Capitalize on a strategic location to convert an underutilized site to a vibrant hub for commerce.
An example of the exciting changes shaping modern Moscow, SHCA is designing a 480,000 sq m (4,734,000 sq ft) multi-functional complex downtown. The first of several industrial sites the City is studying to convert to residential and commercial functions, Slava is located on Leningradsky Prospect. This major artery links Red Square to the suburbs and offers great visibility and a prime address for the planned development. Belorouskii Plaza train station, one of Moscow's major transportation hubs, is adjacent to the proposed project.
The site covers three city blocks, including the existing 1st and 3rd Street Polia, and will be intersected by a new street. Five separate office buildings are proposed, varying in height from 6 to 22 storeys. They all share a common three-storey retail podium spanning over the existing and new streets. The total planned office area is 200,000 sq m (2,153,000 sq ft), joined by 60,000 sq m (645,800 sq ft) of upscale retail. Four levels of underground parking will accommodate 3,500.

01
The Masterplanning approach sought to reconfigure the formerly industrial site to connect it with what will become a commercial and residential district to the north.
02
A planned north-south street allows for six new buildings to integrate into the existing city fabric while also clarifying urban circulation patterns.
03
Building elements are deformed to create a unique architectural promenade within the main public spaces.
04
Internally the retail podium consists of a series of light filled atrium spaces linked by glass pedestrian bridges across the streets to the east and west.
05
nternally the retail podium consists of a series of light filled atrium spaces linked by glass pedestrian bridges across the streets to the east and west.
06
A highly transparent wall and ceiling enclose a feature LED light wall further marking the site as both a destination and gateway.
07
The heart of the complex is the “Winter Garden”, a large enclosed public space that can be used year around, a prized amenity in a cold climate.
08
The 22 office floors of signature tower are organized in nodes of three, each with its own atrium overlooking the winter garden.
09
The bold articulation of the signature tower, a sloping glass façade, acts both as gateway from the future residential district, as well as an entry to the complex.
10
Entry to the tower is further marked by the joining of the two northern glass pedestrian bridges.
11
Each building’s office entry lobby is evocative of the architectural language of the building, most notably in the sinuous lobby of the signature tower.
12
The high performance exterior facades and glazed roofs mediate the extreme climate variations by a series of innovative architectural responses.
13
Terracotta rainscreen cladding further integrates the lower buildings with the predominately light colored stucco surrounding buildings.
14
The terracotta cladding is contrasted with lightweight metal and glass enclosure and shading systems.
