Parametrs
Site square – 26 Hectares, General residential square – 198 000 sq.m., Population – 4000 persons
As a composite basis for the quarter lay-out the idea of “constellation rings”, placed along the central foot parkway is accepted. The parkway, “pulsing” between rings of apartment houses, passes from public “orifice” with shopping center to a park zone with lake.

CIRCLES on the WATER (E. rooster, archi.ru, 04-06-2008)
Exposition “ArcCatalog”, dedicated this year to the residential areas consists of stands and layouts lined up on the long runway. Some quarters in this “model range” stand out for their original, almost sculptural plasticity of architectural solution. One of them is a project shown by the architects of the workshop Asadov.
The quarter consists of round and ring-shaped houses, freely placed on the territory with a total area of almost 26 hectares. Someone this composition will remind the multiplied Roman amphitheatres, someone will think of photos of lunar craters. The authors claim that they were inspired by the picture of circles diverging on water. This bucolic Association: rare drops of summer rain, drawing circles on the smooth surface of a forest lake – consonant with the environmental orientation of the project.
Now the site allocated for the quarter is a field located South of the city of Domodedovo between the old and new Kashirskoye highway (here they diverge quite far from each other). To the West now – the forests, meadows and the village red’kino, but their soon going to build up. To the East, the solid plots in Vostryakovo platform.
The architects decided to turn the whole territory into a Park area. Most of the Parking spaces (the ratio of apartments and garages 1:1) will be concentrated in three – storey garages, stretched along the Western border of the site and protect homes from the noise of the highway “don” – Kashirskoye highway, passing through the neighborhood. Additional Parking spaces are located in the space under the courtyards.
Through the quarter, curving, flows an artificial river with four “tributaries”. It is drawn by architects direction determines the line of the main transport axes, as such, are five boulevards – one Central and four branches. The core of each Boulevard is a river, along its banks there are green squares, and on the sides of the squares there is a one – way road. The structure is very branched, which makes the layout open and eliminates traffic jams at the entrance and exit. The twists of the rivers become the basis for the winding roads, and why the plan of the ensemble is similar to a picturesque English Park. Footpaths of the quarter-on the contrary, absolutely straight, but a lot of them and they often intersect with each other. That is almost-the shorter the walking path, including the garage to the car.
An overgrown natural pond in the North-Eastern part of the territory is supposed to equip and create a landscape Park around it, preserving several private houses behind the pond. This Park will be a continuation of the” river ” intra-Boulevard, it is designed as the main resting place of the residents of the quarter.
The geometrically correct round shape of the buildings returns us from the area of Park bucolic to the classical urban planning. Round the Church and round tower – the classic theme as well as round the courtyard. But the ring-shaped house is rather a modernist theme. In Moscow there are two famous houses-rings with a diameter of 180 m, built in the early 1970s from typical 9-storey sections in Matveevsky and on the banks of the Setun river. Recently, in 2006, the company ANNOUNCED a grandiose multifunctional complex “Colosseum” by architect Andrey Chernikhov, with a diameter of 140 m in Dolgoprudny.
In the neighborhood of architects the Studio of A. Asadov five round towers with a diameter of 26 m and a height of 50 m And the circle of houses (approximately 30-meter height) for ten, they are the main component of the project. Houses will differ in the color of the facades and the number of floors, the diameter and organization of driveways to the yard: somewhere it arches, somewhere breaks the entire height of the body. Instead of ordinary flat roofs, the inhabitants of the upper floors will get open terraces with green lawns. And on the first floor there will be grocery stores, pharmacies, youth clubs and cafes.
However, the main feature of the ring – shaped houses-closed courtyards. This is a way to create a community of “neighbors” lost with the advent of “sleeping-tipovushek” areas where people exist only “among strangers”. The architects have prepared a real gift for the future inhabitants of the quarter: they will have spacious green courtyards with children’s and sports grounds. Together,everyone. Such a house will make the expression “your circle” sound in a new way, because inside” your circle ” there will be a whole house.
There is a question-why such quarters still aren’t present? The answer is in the technical-economic indicators of the quarter: 3 960 people have 198,000 sq m; the resulting population density of 154 people per 1 ha. To each inhabitant 50 square meters. On these 26 hectares you can earn much more if you do not try to create a new world of round houses. Although-settled down after all in Russia townhouses, and not so long ago, few believed that this is possible. I would like to hope that this project will not disappear as “circles on the water”, but will be built and will stand no less than “fort Bayard”.
