Millennium House

Project: New office development
Location: Moscow, Russia
Brief: 9,000 sq.m class A shell & core office building
Completed: May 1999

The basic design requirement was to provide a landmark building of contemporary design in the city centre, whilst providing a functional, efficient building with maximum gross to net usable ratios. The 8 storey building comprises 6 floors of open plan office space above 2 levels of parking set into the natural slope of the site. At the lower part of the site are 2 levels of retail / restaurant space. Since completion the building has received international publicity as a milestone in the development of Russian architecture and has received two major architectural awards. At the back of the building is a free standing stair tower, freeing-up open plan space and allowing access to the roof.
