BOOK Towers are two 23-story towers in the Sosnovy Quarter in the developing residential area of Novaya Borovaya. The two buildings are turned at right angles to each other and located on a common stylobate with additional public functions.

For this complex, we designed façade solutions that we strived to make cohesive and recognizable while using many original details.

Every time one wanders around the houses, they notice that the two towers seem to replace each other, but at least two faсades of each of them stay visible. To play with these moments, we developed similar solutions that, at the same time, have individual features.

In each tower, we redesigned the layout of the balconies at the corners, distributed them randomly, and even moved them to the opposite facades. We did that to get rid of monotony and create a complex volume.

As accents for the lower tier, we used randomly scattered protruding rectangular volumes, French balconies, and overhanging consoles that protrude from the overall volume of the towers like ship bridges.

The boxes for air conditioners are made in the color of the facade to prevent installed air conditioners from spoiling the facade look.
