Herzog & de Meuron

Partner in charge: Stefan Marbach

2018-2019 -1 year Participation throughout the Design Development phase

My contribution in the project:

My work in Badaevskiy Brewery during the Design Development phase, circulated mainly around the design of the layout of the flats. I had the chance to work on the floorplans of all the flats, solve problems caused by emerging structural constraints and have my own design topic for the duplex apartments on the lowest levels of the building.My tasks also included model-making and visualizations for exterior and interior studies of the project.

Note: Project details are confidential and images from my personal work can be showcased on demand.

Gerneral Information about the Project:

The aim of the Badaevskiy Brewery project is to redevelop the six-hectares old factory area, between the Moscow River and the vector to Minsk, and to transform this famous but largely abandoned and dilapidated site into a vibrant destination point in central Moscow.

The single operation of elevating the new building 35 metres up in the air brings three key advantages for the project: first, the new green area, an urban park, emerges in the vacated land under the hovering structures, between the heritage buildings and the river front; second, despite the substantial densification of the site, the historical buildings retain their direct connection to the river and their clear visibility and access to the city; and third, all the flats in the hovering structure are top floors with prime views.

The elevated part consists of approximately 100’000 m² of residential area. The apartments are highly individualized in terms of layout and facade expression and command sweeping panoramic views with their fully glazed facades.
