Being constructed by Brusnika, Mylzavod (Soap factory) is a quarter in the heart of Novosibirsk. The project name references its location. The site was an industrial estate dominated by a soap factory in the early 20th century. Producing over 30 varieties of soap, whose top quality made it a product for export, it was a unique production line in Siberia. Back in the day it was an industrial part of the city, but after the 1950s it was gradually transformed into a residential area. Small houses appeared next to factory shops, but residents were displeased with the industrial neighbourhood. By 2013 the factory production was discontinued and the plot was chosen for the renovation programme of central Novosibirsk and allocated for a new housing estate.

A secondary comprehensive school is located in the European Riverfront district of Novosibirsk, part of a large-scale redevelopment project realised by Brusnika company. Currently 30 houses have been constructed with over 7000 residents living there.

Being an essential social object, the school was integrated into the district’s structure at the stage of its master plan development. The building is located in the heart of the district so that its central entrance is at the crossroads of two major streets of the residential area. The school is well visible from a variety of vantage points and due to its large-scale plot features an important public space.
