Text description provided by the architects. The three glass buildings of the Seasons Ensemble, a new office complex in the St. Petersburg district of Kalininsky are situated on a plot with vibrant history. The area on the eastern banks of the Neva River opposite the famous Smolny Institute used to be a tree nursery before it was transformed into a spacious landscaped park for the palais of the Kushelev Bezberodko family at the end of the 18^th century. The place became a venue for social events of vital prominence. However, at the end of the 19^th century the family abandoned the estate, and it was turned into a nursing home by the Society of the Elizabeth Sisters, while the property itself was divided.
