Pilugina 22 Moscow 2007–2008

This 50,000m² commercial office building is situated next to Vorontsovsky Park in the south east of Moscow beside the main road between the Kremlin and Moscow Domodedovo Airport. The tower stands between a pair of 19 and 22-storey apartment blocks. The form of the building reduces the impact on these neighbouring buildings. Each façade is distinguished by the balance of masonry and fenestration, the rhythm and proportion of the windows and the masonry details.
