Barkli Plaza
This building continues to form a new front line of the Prechistenskaya embankment, a process which had been started by building the new office of Moscow International Bank (MIB) quite a few years ago. From an urbanistic point of view, the intention was to enlarge the scale of the structures here, in order to make the quay more accomplished and to give it a city-like character. On the other hand, there always is the necessity to preserve historically dominant landmarks like the Kremlin towers, Christ-the-Savior temple and other local historic buildings. This led to the disconnectedness of the volumes in the front façade of the new complex. Three units of the complex facing the embankment are 5 storeys high at the front, while one more level is added further to the rear side of each unit, making an indentation in the roof line.
