About Entry Building to Sberbank エントランス棟
「Entry Building to Sberbank」は、モスクワに建つ隣接した2棟の高層オフィスタワーのためのエントランス棟である。本建築は、29本のスチールアーチで構築され、三角形分割されたガラス屋根に覆われた双曲放物面の形状によって、2つのタワーの間の空間を包み込んでいる。この形態は内部に自然光を導き入れる一方で、低層階のオフィスへの日照の遮りを最小限に抑えている。3つのフロアには、レセプションエリア、レストラン、カフェ、カンファレンスセンター、そして階段状の円形劇場のような形をしたイベントスペースが配されている。両端部はシャンパンカラーのステンレススチールパネルで飾られている。

- Unique Properties
- Both entrances at either end of the building are crowned in a series of champagne-coloured triangulated panels in stainless steel that incline outwards over the squares, like delicate tiaras. These warm-coloured crowns create playful reflections of pedestrians arriving and leaving the towers and glow up in different shades depending on the daylight. Internally, the fully glazed dynamic shape creates interiors with an al fresco vibe that merges indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The building consists of three floors with the total floor area of 4000 square meters or 43055 square foot and 40000 cubic meters of built volume. The building is 83 meters long, 43 meters wide, with steel arches reaching 24 meters at the highest point and 20 meters at the lowest point.

- Production Technology
- The hyperbolic parabolic form is achieved with the construction of 29 steel arches that increase the height towards either end of the building. The column free space is covered by a glazed roof that consists of an intricate triangulated structure. The first and second floors are made of concrete slabs, with the middle level designed as a dynamic curved shape that delivers two restaurant terraces facing the front entrance. An oval opening in the core of the building also connects all floors.
- Design Challenge
- The primary project challenge was creating a building volume large enough to accommodate all the required functions under one roof, without compromising daylight into the lower levels of the towers. The dynamic saddle form that the architects devised solves both challenges. A representative, spacious and daylight-flooded space has been created that accommodates all the necessary functions, while minimising sunlight obstruction to the offices in the towers.
- Research
- As the primary function of the building is as a covered entrance space into the two towers, particular attention was paid to finding the best solution for an efficient and comfortable flow of 10000 people who work in the towers. The solution was spreading the badge scanner areas over two floors, in order to split the flow, and strategically placing the main canteen restaurant on the first floor, leaving the ground floor for event and conference areas that can be accessed by the general public.
- Inspiration
- Sberbank commissioned Evolution Design to create a representative entrance to two adjoining high-rise towers that are part of Sberbank City, the new campus of Sberbank. The intervention should link the two towers and create a strong design statement within the narrow space, without compromising daylight into the lower levels of the towers. The architects responded to the ambitious brief with a hyperbolic parabolic form that rises up at either end enclosing the space between the towers.
- Project Duration
- Project construction started in July 2020 and was finished in June 2021 in Moscow.
- Operation Flow
- Spread over 3 floors, the building accommodates entrance facilities for people who work in the towers, central reception, several restaurants and coffee shops, a conference centre and a large event space styled as a stepped amphitheatre. The building is not only frequented by 10000 employees who work in the two towers as an entry, meeting and socialising place, but is also a popular choice to meet for lunch among workers from other buildings on the campus, and is also open to the general public.
