About Emerald Complèxe Eqüèstre
Lo projècte arquitectural olistic unís tots los objèctes e revèla l'identitat foncionala de cada. Las fassadas estendudas de l'arena e de las establas son dirigidas vèrs lo còr central. L'edifici a sièis costats coma una esmerauda preciosa repause dins un encastre daurat-collièr d'autres blòcs. Los triangles murals son decorats amb un esparpilhament de veire brillant. En s'apròchant, se transforma en lanterna de cristal. Una ala blanca corbada sulinha l'entrada principala. L'estructura de cristal es l'element principal de l'espaci interior, ont l'environament es percebut a travèrs una ret transparenta. Los interiors contunhan las estructuras de las fassadas de bòsc, en ajustant los elements a una escala umana mai proporcionada.

- Production Technology
- Main requirement is environmental friendliness. Such determined choice of main construction material-wood. Task is to connect large-span glued wooden structures with original & non-repeating design of each of six blocks. As conclusion is creation of unique spectacular image of entire complex, which "plays" with faces like emerald. Composition center - 2-stories administrative block with maximum use of wooden material of main load-bearing structures, facade ornament & decorative elements.
- Design Challenge
- Creation single architectural &spatial project image that is unites all buildings &simultaneously reveals functional identity of each.Central block as core of entire structure does not only because of its position, but due to drawing of details &silhouette.Color scheme is close to natural one,limited by wooden shades. Emerald-grey pitched roofs echo greenery of surrounding emerald forest.Interiors continue idea of wooden facade structures,adjusting elements scale to be more proportionate human.
- Research
- Features of landscape & climatic conditions of design region studied in detail. This made it possible, using technologies and materials, to achieve greater energy efficiency of building. Layout option packages make it possible to follow each temperature and humid conditions without hindering internal transit staff, athletes and animals, including winter, which is extremely important for Moscow region. Dismembered structure of complex suggests possibility of using separate buildings for other events.
- Inspiration
- Urban design structure of complex is determined by terrain of territory through prism of horse technology. Territory is extended shape. Complex is functional division into six blocks with stables, arenas and central administrative block that serves as connecting core for all buildings. Due to requirements of technology and logistics, complex structure is similar to crystal lattice of mineral, enlarged by billions of times. This coincidence suggested main idea is gem which sparkling its facets.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2017 in Moscow, Russia.
Expert conclusion: December 2018 and July 2019, Moscow, Russia;
The construction is started in December 2018 - present.
Location - Klin region, Russia. - Operation Flow
- Object is included in large recreational complex with area of more than 200 ha.
