TOMSK, Jun 14 – RIA Tomsk. Dutch architects, representatives of the LEVS bureau (Amsterdam), at the Architectural Forum in Tomsk presented residential neighborhood at the intersection of Komsomolsky Avenue with Sibirskaya Street; it's planned to get buildings height from 6 to 22 floors with 950 apartments, the press service of the regional administration reports on Friday.
Earlier it was reported that in October 2018, the Dutch architectural bureau LEVS presented a neighborhood project developed for the Tomsk housing company, which was supposed to be built on the territory of the former Danone plant on Komsomolsky Avenue (intersection with Lebedev Street). The project involved the construction of two buildings with a closed loop and a courtyard.
"The architectural bureau LEVS presented a project of a new residential neighborhood, which is planned to be built at the intersection of Komsomolsky Avenue and Sibirskaya Street in Tomsk. 950 apartments are planned to be built in the neighborhood. The height of houses will vary from 6 to 22 floors. At choice of residents will be offered 50 types of apartments: from one- to four-room, including two-storeyed", – is said in the statement.
It is specified that the area of residential premises in the new microdistrict at the intersection of Komsomolsky and Sibirskaya will be 60 thousand square meters. The first floors are planned to be given for cafe and shops. The project presentation was held at the round table of the festival "Architecture in Siberia", which takes place within the framework of the Tomsk Architectural Forum.
"According to project manager Adriaan Mout, the model is based on the classical European model, when the courtyard part of the neighborhood is closed and the outside is "open to the city". On the one hand, the new neighborhood is limited to the intersection of two active highways (Komsomolsky and Sibirskaya), on the other -the Ushayka River", – is noted in the message.
According to Mirosław Sztuka, director of the Bureau of S&P Architektura Krajobrazu (Poland), which developed the landscape design of the neighborhood, it is advisable to break the city beach on the Embankment of the Ushayka River before the start of construction. "People will start coming to this place even before it becomes a microdistrict. This will turn the space into a place where people want to return", – the press-service quotes Sztuka.
