Babayants 建筑事务所受命设计莫斯科市中心新共和国住宅区 10 座住宅楼中两座的公共空间。
红塔和白塔是两座位于共同台阶上的塔楼，拥有共同的内院和停车场。我们必须使它们在性格上不同，但在风格上统一。
我们在两座塔楼的公共空间中使用了相同的材料、重复的家具和灯具，以创造一个共同的、可识别的主题，同时为创造性留下空间。每座塔楼的内部大堂都各不相同，突出了各自的建筑特色。

Babayants Architects was assigned to design public spaces in two out of ten residential towers in the new Republic residential district in the heart of Moscow.
Reds and Platinum are two towers placed on the common stylobate with the common inner courtyard and parking. We had to make them different by characters but united by style.
We used identical materials, repeating furniture, and lighting pieces in the public spaces of two towers to create a common and recognizable leitmotif yet leave space for creativity. The lobby interior of each tower is different and highlights its architectural features.

项目的主要特点
大堂是住宅区的生活展示区，从街上就能看到。现代、大气、简洁的双层挑高空间营造出极具辨识度的形象。
住宅区大堂的内部空间具有以下几种功能：
1. 创造第一印象，给人以空间感，并立即展示建筑的品质。
2. 2. 大堂是住户的日常背景，因此空间必须赏心悦目、方便直观。
3. 大堂是会客和消遣的场所。这里有接待处、休息区和室外咖啡点。
4. 主厅尽可能明亮、温馨。主立面和庭院一侧的大面积玻璃使大厅成为公共区域和私人区域之间的透明缓冲区。

THE MAIN FEATURE OF THE PROJECT
The lobby is a living showcase of the residential complex that can be seen from the street. Modern, airy, and laconic double-height space creates a recognizable image.
The lobby interior of the residential complex has several functions:
1. Creates a first impression, gives a sense of space and immediately demonstrates the quality of the architecture.
2. The lobby is a daily background for residents, so the space must be visually pleasing, convenient, and intuitive.
3. The lobby is a meeting place and a pleasant pastime. There is a reception, a lounge area, and an outdoor coffee point.
4. The main hall is as bright and welcoming as possible. The large plane of glazing on the side of the main facade and the courtyard makes the lobby a transparent buffer zone between public and private areas.

项目的复杂性
最初，我们在雷德斯处理的是一个非常大而高的空间。这个空间两面都是玻璃，天花板高达 9 米，看起来通风明亮，但内部空间有可能变成一个类似办公室的地方，或者看起来像一个购物中心。
主要任务是为居住空间营造最大程度的舒适氛围。
巨大的尺度必须符合人体比例，创造出舒适的消磨时间的区域。同时，还必须保持大堂的气势，因为这是整个共和国区的大堂。这里是主入口，既要有纪念意义，又要美观、时尚、现代和舒适。
为了解决这一难题，我们将大堂分为两层。我们建议建造一个夹层和一个通往夹层的楼梯。在夹层中，有一个更加私密的休息区。
我们将材料垂直分隔，这有助于在视觉上协调比例和高度。墙壁用石材装饰到一定高度，然后在天花板上继续使用木质装饰。木材自然温暖的色调有助于在视觉上降低高度，并营造出优美的人性化比例。

THE PROJECT’S COMPLEXITIES
Initially, we dealt with a very large and tall space at Reds. The space, glazed on both sides, with 9-meter ceilings, looks airy and bright, but there was a risk that the interior would turn into an office-like or look like a shopping center.
The main task was to create a maximally comfortable atmosphere in the living space.
The huge scale had to be brought to human proportions, creating pleasant areas for spending time. At the same time, it was necessary to maintain the feeling of a grand lobby, because this is the lobby of the entire Republic district. This is the main entrance, which should be both monumental and presentable, stylish, modern, and cozy.
We solved this challenge by dividing the lobby into two levels. We proposed making a mezzanine and a staircase leading to it. In the mezzanine, there is a more private lounge area.
We vertically separated the materials which helped us visually harmonize proportions and heights. The walls are trimmed with stone up to a certain height and then there is a wood trim continuing on the ceiling. The natural warm tone of the wood helped to visually reduce the height and build beautiful, human-scale proportions.

完善的内部基础设施
入口左侧是接待区和收发包裹的地方。
座位和等候区位于大厅中央的四根柱子之间。接待区对面有一个楼梯通向夹层，夹层里有一个更加私密的休息区。这里是朋友聚会、聊天和放松的理想场所。
我们采用了岛式规划方案，使人们可以在大厅内自由走动，而无需穿过座位区和等候区。
除了咖啡点、休闲区和功能区之外，还有一个会所–一个拥有不同类型工作场所的联合办公空间。
工作区用书架和隔板分区。在这里，人们可以边工作边看书，就像在家里的图书馆一样。
在会所的二楼，有一个客厅、一个厨房和一个游戏室，游戏室里有电视、游戏机和棋盘游戏区。
住宅区还设有健身室，其内部设计参考了日本美学。该空间全部采用木质装饰，有利于沉思、关爱自己和身体健康。
各楼层的内部设计也采用了同样的风格，使用了同样的材料，如木材、石材和金属，只是颜色更加温暖。
在各种设施中，有一个现代化的儿童游乐场，可以通往安全的庭院，在那里可以继续游戏。
还有许多公共卫生间，供住户及其客人使用。
我们还设计了时尚的停车场。

DEVELOPED INTERNAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The reception area and the spot where one can receive and send parcels are to the left of the entrance.
The seating and waiting area is located in the center of the hall between four columns. Opposite the reception area, there is a staircase leading to the mezzanine with a more private lounge area. It is an ideal place to meet friends, chat and relax.
We used an island-type planning solution to make it possible to move freely around the hall without crossing the seating and waiting area.
In addition to the coffee point, recreation areas and functional areas, there is a Club House – a co-working space with different typologies of workplaces.
Workplaces are zoned with bookshelves and partitions. Here one can work and read a book, just like in a home library.
On the second floor of the Club House, there is a living room, a kitchen, and a games room with a TV, consoles, and an area for board games.
The residential complex has its fitness room, the interior of which is designed with a reference to Japanese aesthetics. The space is completely decorated with wood and is conducive to contemplation and care for yourself and your physical health.
The interiors of the floors are designed in the same style, with the same materials such as wood, stone, and metal, only in a warmer color.
Amongst the facilities, there is a contemporary kids’ playground with access to the safe courtyard where the games can continue.
There are many public bathrooms for the residents and their guests.
We also designed stylish parking.

材料
接待区和墙面装饰使用的石材在一定程度上形成了每个区域的独特比例，给人一种单一材料的感觉，将整个空间连成一个整体。
我们在墙壁和天花板上部分使用了木质材料，从视觉上将这些元素统一起来，使空间更具包覆性和舒适感。
全景玻璃将室外引入室内，使大堂建筑更加整体和完整。
钢架立柱质感丰富，与其他材料和周围环境交相辉映，不断变化。这为室内空间增添了活力，使其更加多样化。它们在视觉上点亮了室内空间，不再仅仅是一个建筑元素，而是与夹层有机地融为一体。它给人一种钢棒拉伸灯片的感觉。室内装饰与住宅区内部空间改善之间的对话由此产生。
金属还被用于装饰咖啡点、休闲区的桌子、树盆以及通往婴儿车区和浴室的隔板。这是空间的主旋律。我们使用了浅色板材，使金属色调更加明亮。
其余区域的内部装修在概念上延续了大厅空间的解决方案。例如，电梯厅和走廊的墙壁和地面直至庭院入口处的水平面都采用了灰色石材，上方的墙壁和天花板则采用了天然浅色木材。
在通往庭院的出口对面，我们放置了采光板，以营造某种氛围，并延续住宅区大厅采光屏的理念。预计该应用将与塔楼的住户互动：每个人都可以为光屏设定自己的基调。控制色彩和氛围的能力增强了住户的归属感。当然，有必要规定界限和平衡，例如，一个人每天不能超过 3 次，以免影响其他住户。

MATERIALS
The stone used for the reception area and wall decoration to a certain level forms unique proportions for each zone and it gives the feeling of a monomaterial, uniting the entire space into a single whole.
We used wood partially for the walls and ceiling to visually unite these elements and make the space more enveloping and cozy.
Panoramic glazing brings the exterior into the interior, making the lobby architecture more holistic and complete.
The steel-framed columns provide a rich texture and, reflecting the rest of the materials and surroundings, are constantly changing. This enlivens the interior and makes it diverse. They visually lighten the interior and cease to be just a constructive element, organically fitting into a single composition with the mezzanine. It creates the feeling of steel rods that stretch the light sheet. This is how a dialogue between the interior and the improvement of the internal territory of the residential complex is born.
Metal is also used to decorate the coffee point, table in the recreation area, tree tubs, and partitions leading to the stroller area and bathrooms. This is the leitmotif of space. We used light sheets for a brighter metal tone.
The interiors of the remaining zones conceptually continue the solutions in the lobby space. For example, the walls and floor up to the level of the courtyard entrances in the elevator halls and corridors are finished with gray stone and the walls above and the ceiling are made of natural light-colored wood.
Opposite the exits to the courtyard, we placed light panels that create a certain atmosphere and continue the idea of light screens in the lobby of the residential complex. It is expected that the application will be interactive for residents of the towers: everyone can set their own tone for the light screens. The ability to control color and ambience reinforces the feeling that this is their home. Of course, it will be necessary to provide boundaries and balance, for example, no more than 3 times a day for one person, so that the performance does not disturb other residents.
