Voznesensky 5 / NOWADAYS office

Diego Hernández — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000

The reconstruction of all three parts of the building, located in Voznesensky Lane, made it possible to adapt it for new functions — offices, a restaurant and retail. The degree of the intervention varied depending on the condition and historical value of each building. The building from the end of the 19th century, facing the side street, was restored. Through the use of two shades of plaster, the historical design of the facade was emphasized while the plinth was encased in granite. For the two-story building in the courtyard, a granite basement and granite slopes on the windows were added.

Public Bar / NOWADAYS office

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 12 Aug 2017 05:00:00 +0000

In recent years Moscow has developed a taste for the so-called speakeasy bars: “secret” drinking venues where you need to be acquainted with the owner or, at least, a regular to get in. The entrance to one of these is hidden within the inner courtyard of a XVIII century building in a historic neighborhood situated centrally. The rules of the speakeasy genre require the absence of a sign, so only those who know where to go would find the way. Eight steps down a ladder, that also serves as a storage for cocktail ingredients, and a visitor finds himself in a two-room clandestine underground venue, ironically called the Public Bar.

Iskra / NOWADAYS office

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 11:00:00 +0000

A double-leveled café and bar ‘Iskra’ (‘Sparkle’), serving grilled chicken and a variety of sparkling wines, is located in one of the most authentic neighborhoods in Moscow. Kitai-Gorod is a part of the old city, once hidden behind the vallum that adjoined the Kremlin. Pokrovka 38A is a classicist building constructed in the late XVIII century that used to be the private residence of a noble Moscow family. After the building was nationalized by the Soviet government, a light and spacious bedroom with a vaulted ceiling — taking up 35 sq m of the ground floor — was turned into a local dairy shop. This space is now Iskra’s upper-level café with a secret bar (ironically called ‘Public Bar’) occupying the basement beneath.
