IRON CURTAIN

Noise, dirt, dust. A view of Malovanka as an element that negatively affects the quality of life. The proposal places an office building in the most exposed place with a pre-set structure, a noise wall as a war curtain, providing comfort and improving conditions for residents behind it. Thanks to its glazing, it seems to blend into the sky, giving it a light and natural appearance and adding to its solitariness. The block creates a safe-space from the intersection, the block form of the development relates to the surrounding character of the site. The residential part is designed as individual apartment buildings, which respects the historic buildings, increases diversity and visually reduces the size. A public courtyard, connecting two worlds, transforms the proposal into a social hub.
