The Expert Council noted the high professional level of work. The concept of the residential building is based on three principles.
The first is sustainable development. The design used materials obtained from recycled waste. For example, glass elements and rubber coatings of the platforms are made of them. Energy-efficient solutions were used in each section of the project: reducing the load on the heating system, using heat recovery in ventilation systems, energy-saving lamps with motion sensors.
The second is an active social life in the house: a public library, sculpture and art workshops, as well as a winter garden, wh ere gardening can be done all year round, are designed in the facility. These spaces help strengthen the neighborhood community.
The third principle is inclusion. For groups of citizens with limited mobility, specially equipped apartments and workshops for rehabilitation are provided. People with disabilities can find employment in the inclusive cafe on the ground floor.
Congratulations to our winning team and wishes of continued success!
The competition has been held since 2016 with the support of the Ministry of Construction of Russia at the initiative of NOTIM and the Digitalization Commission of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction of Russia. This year, 190 projects from almost all regions of the country were sent for the competition in 12 nominations. The Expert Council shortlisted 34 projects and 12 student papers from 19 regions.
