Architectural and urban development of Gorskaya Territory in St. Petersburg (RU)

Several clusters form a unique and dynamically developing space where not only residents of Gorskaya, but also residents and guests of St Petersburg can rest comfortably and work efficiently.

The Museum of the Elements will be the main landmark. The iconic image of the exhibition will be the world's largest artificial whirlpool. The Light-industrial zone offers opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses through a variety of areas for storage and small-scale wholesale. The IT cluster zone with office spaces, science labs and classrooms is aimed at attracting technology companies and IT-oriented universities. The recreational cluster will house a hotel complex with a coastal hotel building. The recreational cluster will house a hotel complex with a coastal hotel building.

The main public space in Gorskaya will be the promenade with the multi-level landscaping, which will protect the recreational areas from the wind.

Inside Gorskaya Harbour, priority will be given to pedestrians and personal mobility devices such as bicycles and scooters. Public spaces between the buildings in the IT-cluster and light industrial zones are organized like green corridors that lead to the embankment and open areas on the Gulf of Finland. The environmental concept of the project aims at revitalising the entire natural complex of the area. Water drainage system with drainage ditches, bioponds and rain gardens will be used throughout the Gorskaya area.

A distinguishing feature of the overall project is the high degree of flexibility of the planned spaces: they can change their function depending on demand and market conditions.

The Haven is a safe place to wait out a storm.
