We are excited to kick of the new year with a new project in Russia. In a competition organized by Citymakers, ODA won the bid to design a 3 million SF master plan right outside of Moscow for the developer Glavstroy. It will be a large mixed-use development intended to regenerate industrial zones just outside Moscow City. The city has a significant number of these post-industrial sites in valuable areas, directly aligned with main transportation vectors. The MAZD master plan will be a comprehensive kickoff for the conversion of the industrial Magistralnye Ulitsy territory. The MAZD area is 9.3 ha. and will, in many ways, affect the further development of the surrounding neighborhood. It is ODA’s objective to create a meaningful contribution to the development of this urban fabric, one that will, overtime, set the guidelines for a more pedestrian, green and mixed redevelopment, and one that will become a destination in this valuable part of the city.

The space is divided between an open kitchen and dining area, with a large bar top acting as an intermediary, at which visitors can eat and follow the cooking process.
