Nikola-Penya Village

Idea projektu

The project embodies the spirit of the province through the creation of a lively community center — a village square with a dominant church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. It is a place of meetings, trade and celebrations, inspired by the traditions of merchant fairs and folk festivals.

Popis projektu

The architectural image synthesizes the heritage of different eras: authentic wooden architecture juxtaposes with classical forms and regular plans, creating a picturesque environment where history is intertwined with modern comfort. The village is becoming not just a place to live, but a space for the dialogue of the times — with a recognizable character and vibrant social life outside the hustle and bustle of the city.
The heart of the project is the existing Orthodox church, which plays a key urban planning and visual role. Its bell tower and domes, visible from every street and from any point of the settlement, recreate the historical principle of Russian cities, where the dominant captures the beginning and end of perspectives, becoming a semantic reference point.
The facades of residential and public buildings form a recognizable look: from houses stylized in the traditional wooden architecture on the outskirts to classical buildings and buildings in the spirit of national modern in the center.

Technické informace

The project provides for the creation of a club-type rural settlement for permanent and seasonal (summer) living on the territory of the existing settlement of Nikola-Penya in the Yaroslavl region, with a total area of 29.76 hectares with a gentle elevation of the relief from the outer border to the temple. There are 3 villages and 1 district center located within a 10 km radius from the site, providing basic medical and educational needs for the population. Design decisions take into account the existing urban situation and infrastructure of the territory.
