Volga: hotel complex project

The plot is located on the bank of the Volga river. The peculiar feature of the place is the necessity to protect it from spring floods.

This fact called for a platform secured from the high water. The border between the “platform” and the beach outlines the embankment which is the main pedestrian alley connecting all the functions of the complex that are evenly distributed around the territory.

The access to the plot is performed from its longitudinal rear side. At the entrance of the complex there is a parking lot with utility facilities, followed by the yacht club which has immediate access to the pier. Finally, there is a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the Volga.

The major public space of the complex is a swimming pool with deck chairs, a playground and sports facilities. The common lobby unites the spa-complex and the hotel with rooms exposed to the river.

We preserve a fragment of the natural terrain and carve a landscape park out of the platform, with lounge zones and vista points. The plot is framed by private villas of various typologies.
