The project is part of a multiple proposal strategy for the development of a large area in the Skhodnya District in Moscow for a private company specialized in high rise buildings. The area is surrounded by a beautiful forest, and has its main access on the south side. The project divides the area into three recognizable parts, each with its own character, but with a main event, a central park, right in the middle of the area. Each of the three segments can also reach the forest directly. The south portion takes the form of a block, open towards the forest on the north; the central area is composed by three groups of towers on a parking podium gathered around the central park facility. The north development finally, is completely surrounded by the forest, and count three Y shaped towers with a parking podium at their foot. The overall height of the buildings goes from 8 to 25 floors.
