Text description provided by the architects. Located on the banks of the River Neva near the confluence with the River Okhta, the future administrative headquarters of financial group Bank Saint Petersburg develops within St. Petersburg‘s new Okhta complex. While a group of typical new blocks on the Neva banks are tying in with the existing buildings in the north and south, the new front opens in the main axis of the complex and gives view to a 22-storey high-rise. It represents the central element of the complex and is flanked by two 9-storey buildings on one common basis unifying the different volumes and offering ample parking space for the new quarter on two basement levels. Running accross the embankment a pedestrian bridge will eventually put particular emphasis on the new axis between the river and the tower. A jetty for tourist boats with a viewing platform and a restaurant entering the water finally connects the administration building with the main artery of the city. The planning is conducted in collaboration with EGP Evgeny Gerasimov and Partners, St. Petersburg.
