Theme: residential complex

The residential complex features a distinctive architectural form inspired by two majestic mountains. Their converging peaks frame the mountain range panorama and create a symbolic gateway to the city.

The design employs a dual‑layer vertical structure:

  • Outer layer: residential modules defining the building’s rhythmic silhouette.

  • Inner layer: public functions (cafés, lecture halls, sports complexes, and shops) fostering a vibrant community environment.

A prominent red bridge connects the two mountain‑like structures, functioning both structurally and as a key visual anchor. This dynamic element elevates the composition, giving it both movement and a distinctive character.
