Under one roof, it accommodates an ice arena, a swimming pool and a hall for team sports. The entrance is carried out from a common atrium with an area of more than a thousand square meters. The building attracts attention with its unusual facade, which resembles a sea wave and successfully fits into the local architecture.

Karim Thermos. The project of a residential complex in the structure of the Lenexpo quarter Open in high resolution

Karim Thermos developed a project for a sports and recreation complex for the shore of the Galley Dipper in the same area, placing a two-story building for offices and trade in an arc that repeats the coastline. Three residential "beams" of different heights depart from the body. (Supervisors: Natalia Yass, Associate Professor at the Department of Architectural Design; Aleksandr Veshnyakov, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Architectural Design; Nina Dryzhapolova, Associate Professor at the Department of Architectural Design.)

Polina Eroshenko also presented a project of a possible infrastructure for the territory near the Galley Dipper. (Supervisors: Vladimir Linov, Associate Professor at the Department of Architectural Design; Vladlen Lyavdansky, Associate Professor at the Department of Architectural Design; Natalya Novokhodskaya, Associate Professor at the Department of Architectural Design.) She proposed to place a multifunctional complex here with museums, cinemas and exhibition halls, trade and catering under a common glass roof resembling a sail. As conceived by the author of the project, the submarine-museum D-2 Narodovolets will also go under the roof. This idea also has practical value: the roof will protect the museum from bad weather.
