Small construction blocks and the division of quarters into individual neighbourhoods form a Russian doll principle which combines the overarching reference points of all quarters in a central plaza.

The me­an­der­ing course of the River Moskva with its expansive meadow land­scapes forms the starting point for the new Russian In­ter­na­tion­al Financial Center (IFC). As a green­field de­vel­op­ment, the IFC is being con­struct­ed 18 kilo­me­tres from the city centre at the gates to the Russian capital. On this site, this district offers a mix of res­i­den­tial and working en­vi­ron­ments, financial service providers, banking and stock exchange ac­tiv­i­ties. The master plan presented by ASTOC and HPP won the day in the com­pet­i­tive tender with dif­fer­en­ti­at­ed re­la­tion­ships between the urban space and a na­tur­is­tic open space concept with close ties to the water. Starting from the river, “green fingers” stretch into the heart of the de­vel­op­ment, the central plaza which opens out onto the existing lake. This will create five districts, each one grouped around its own square. The ring of gardens links the quarters across the green spaces.
