The project of the Mercury Luxury Village aims at generating a sort of urban fragment in the chic periphery of Eastern Moscow. This district, which is called Barvikha, is characterized by birch woods where, in recent years, luxury detached houses surrounded by average sized gardens have been built in absolutely eclectic architectural taste. In this area, together with a sequence of tourist facilities such as more or less traditional restaurants whose mission is to revive the social life of what is starting to look like a town district, the trading company Mercury, which is specialized in the distribution of luxury European brands in a variety of sectors, will build a sort of luxury "golden mile": a country road that will result from the sequence of a very contemporary architectural complex of volumes in red cedar and glass designed to host the most prestigious European brands.
At the very end of this artificial alley: a multifunctional theatre and a luxury hotel.
The hotel building is completely enclosed in a shell of vertical wood panels surrounding an inner court. All the rooms - that have an average surface area of 65 sq. m. each - have a private terrace which is perfectly protected by a wooden screen. The aggregation principle includes total and exclusive privacy between one room and another. This principle applies also to the outside perimeter where, as a result, the facade, through the same sequence of screens and terraces, is completely blind.
The entrance of the building, signalled by a green glass box containing a winter garden, opens on a giant chimney which is situated in a backlit position against the view inside the garden.
In the basement, there's a 1200 sqm SPA with a covered swimming-pool and sophisticated water installations.
Total surface sqm 15000
