This project is in progerss now, but I love initial concept so much that I put it online. My work here is to finish what forest stared - decontextualisation of typical late-1960-th soviet "sanatorium".
I left existing 1,5-storey building untouched (same way as I did it in OK16 design), but put extremely active second layer over it. Wooden-frame addition, like an octopus, stretches out to reach selected views, and resulting multi-linearity slightly interacts with white box of existing building.
With a light touch of Alvar Aalto aestitics, who was a kind of benchmark for soviet modernists of late 1960-th, and whom we refer in our Repino residence design, I believe this project is what will be the outcome of soviet modernism in alternative history, where slight democratic turn in soviet society of 1960 will continue to the real democrathy.
