About The multi-level car park project was designed for the order of Stroitelny Trust and is located in the NEWPITER residential complex under construction in the Novoselie settlement in the Leningrad region. The project with an area of more than 8000 square metres incorporates a unique trend of modern architecture, visual lightness and economy.

Thesis I was faced with the challenge of developing facade solutions that would beautify the building, but would also be quick and easy to install, and within a small budget.An important project from a social point of view. In Russian's housing estates, residents are used to faceless technical architecture surrounded by residential "anthills". I set myself the task of creating something different from the everyday life of city dwellers, something that would attract attention and encourage people to think about the environment in which they live. The car park is painted in grey to emphasise its technical function and its position on the road, so that the project stands out from the canvas of straight forms, but remains part of the whole.

As in literature, the population needs to be introduced to an understandable but complex architecture.

«A car park is rarely perceived as an object that requires architectural reflection. Neither developers nor, strangely enough, users expect it to have any particular aesthetic appeal. At best, it is hidden underground, at worst, it becomes an eyesore. But it turns out that there is a third way - it becomes part of the ensemble»
