The residential complex is a multifunctional building combining residential apartments, suites, two floors of retail as well as office space all in a compact volume. The building is located on the border of the Khavsko-Shabalovsky residential area, which was a project of soviet rationalist architects in the late 1920s. Avant-garde houses form part of the central part of quarter while buildings from the 1960s are located along the perimeter. Facing Serpukhovsky Val street, the building is a perfect historical stylistic continuation of the time. The building has a complex silhouette, gradually rising from the street into the courtyard area, thus compositionally enriching the street. Meanwhile, the facade is designed to emphasize the techtonics of the brick walls. A feeling of monumentality is imbued with protruding struts forming exaggerated slopes, particularly when illuminated from the side.
