Designing in the city center means researching the morphology of neighbourhoods, the history of the place, analysing archive maps and documents, and proposing topical and interesting urban solutions. But the most important thing for the architect is to feel the spirit of the place, to capture the mood, to fit into the historical context. The images connected with the surroundings dictated the solutions of facades which would have had some connection with profitable houses of the early 20th century and the dominant of the area - the bell tower of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and would have had the imprint of the Byzantine tradition characteristic of Russian architecture. Ornamental themes, allusions to mansards, warm brick tones, the shape of the chest buildings - everything should remind the purchaser of the solid, high-quality architecture of the last century's revenue houses in the neo-Russian style. The modern form, precise proportions, and comfortable layouts are signs of a twenty-first century house. Working at the junction of European and Russian architectural traditions is an invaluable experience for architects and undoubtedly an interesting proposition for the residential market.

Mosfilm's history is almost 100 years old. The main ensemble of buildings was designed and built in the 30s-50s. The last significant construction was the film studio building in the 1980s, after which the remaining infrastructure was carefully preserved and modernized in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In recent years, the Cinema Concern has made great strides in developing and building up its capital and creative potential. The need to build modern film studios, a concert hall, and a new storage facility for its unique and extensive collection of props was long overdue. Therefore, when in 2016 it was decided to build a new filming pavilion and costume house, our team took on the task with interest and enthusiasm.
