Vodniy Residential Street Block in Moscow, Russia by SPEECH architecturalAugust 26th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: SPEECH architectural This residential complex consists of five 26-storey buildings arranged in a checkerboard pattern on top of a multi-storey underground car park. This configuration of volumes of identical shape and height has made it possible to create a system of semi-enclosed inner courtyards between the blocks. The main entrances to the buildings face the courtyards and take the form of stately portals.  Image Courtesy © Dmitry Chebanenko

Each building has façades of unique design involving the use of glazed ceramic surfaces of various colours and textures.

The ground floors of the buildings contain all necessary infrastructure, including social facilities such as a kindergarten, a fitness club, cafes and restaurants, and household services.

Executed in different years and in different cities, the drawings study the drama of the interaction between architecture and aquatic space. The architect and client together selected a total of 15 works (three for each entrance area), which were then digitally printed on glass. According to the architects, this gives each of the staircases its own distinctive character while also exploring the significance of the complex’s name.
