The building continues to form a new front line of the embankment, the process which had been started by building the new office of Moscow International Bank (MIB) quite a few years ago. From the urbanistic point of view the intention was to enlarge the scale of structures here in order to make the quay more accomplished and city-like character. On the other hand there always is the necessity to preserve historic dominance of Kremlin towers, Christ-the-Savior temple and other local historic marks, so it led to disconnectedness of volumes in the front façade of the new complex.

Multifunctional complex representational features are the main tower 214-meters high and chip-like house 130-meters high. Both high-rise buildings are connected by third structure consisting of two parallel 8 storey units so that an atrium is formed in between them, with well lit inner space (in spite of giants standing nearby). The whole composition is positioned on three-level stylobate which contains underground parking lots, trade and sports rooms, well accomplished roof with dwelling and offices entrance groups, sport grounds and R&R areas, separate units for trade center and offices. The connecting low storey houses and the main tower are lifted up for 17-meters supported by almost chaotically tilted columns high made of coal black cast-in-situ concrete.

The business center is composed of three different storied vertically oriented volumes based on single story flat ground floor. Clear and rational layout idea is softened by complicated plastic forms of facades. Active rhythm of differently sized windows that accrues and fades relieves from standard boredom and monotony so inherent to architecture of all business centers.
