Urban Competition for the development of ZIM area (ex Maslennikov plant) in Samara, Russia

The design of the urban district River Park “4 seasons” is proposed with a highly integrated holistic approach that considers the different elements making up the project: the architectural idea, structures, strategies for the rational use of energy and water resources in order to achieve a sustainable, efficient and cost-effective project.

The project has been sized to accommodate a new neighborhood for about 13,000 inhabitants, distributed in about 4,909 apartments of various sizes. Residents will have two kindergarten and two primary and secondary schools, a clinic, sports and commercial equipments available for their children and distributed taking into account the logistics of transport and walking distances.

In addition, the district will rely on a shopping and entertainment mall with cinemas, luxury shops, gyms and food courts. A skyscraper of 205 m high, beacon of the intervention, houses a hotel of 600 rooms with a related congress center on the first 20 floors and business class apartments with sweeping views of the river and city.
