Residential complex "Rhythm of Modernity"

Project idea

A new residential complex in the historic center of the city of Yaroslavl. The complex includes two buildings; within the project, one residential building has been detailed, which stands at the intersection of two streets. In deciding on the facades, I chose to draw from the surrounding architecture. It is quite diverse: it includes both historical buildings and modern ones with glass facades. In the design of the facades of my residential complex, I reflected the connection between the past and present of this place through the combination of two materials: brick (a nod to old buildings) and glass (a nod to modern constructions). Since the surrounding architecture is so varied, it was challenging to identify something common in the buildings. Nevertheless, I found similar elements, which I used on the facade of my residential complex - arches and pilasters, vertical strips. As a result, the facade is built on the rhythm of vertical lines, while the commercial floor is highlighted by arches. It fits well into this location, not contrasting with other buildings, yet its dynamic appearance is quite impressive.

Project description

The project has detailed the facade solution of the residential building, made the layout of the typical floor, the first commercial floor, and the underground parking. The building is divided into 3 sections, all of which are different from each other, stemming from the facade of the building, which is also divided into three parts by a dynamic rhythm. Each floor has three-room, two-room, and one-room apartments; additionally, two sections have common storage rooms on the landing of each floor. There are balconies in the apartments facing the courtyard. On the commercial floor, each section has a space for strollers and bicycles, as well as various shops, studios, halls, etc. The entrance to the underground parking is through an elevator that is attached to the end of the building; there is also a staircase that leads directly to the street. When developing the layout solution, all norms for safety and evacuation of people in case of fire were taken into account. As part of the project, landscaping of the courtyard was developed, which includes various children's and sports playgrounds and a public area.

Technical information

The building has 5 floors (4 of them are residential). The building is made of brick. The load-bearing wall of the building consists of: ceramic brick masonry (thickness 0.12 m), mineral wool faced with synthetic binder (thickness 200 mm), solid clay brick masonry (thickness 0.38 m), cement-sand plaster (thickness 0.02 m). The upper floors are made of full glazing. A load-bearing wall runs through the middle of the building, supporting the floor slabs. The floor slabs are made of reinforced concrete with a thickness of 300 mm. On the -1 floor, there is an underground parking lot, and supporting columns are placed under the load-bearing walls. There is also a space for a water meter, an electrical switchboard, and a heating unit.
