The concept for the Depositary and Exhibition Complex in New Moscow comprises four volumes united by a shared space. Urbanistically, the building contrasts with its surroundings through its complex form. The blocks are
oriented at angles to the strict street grid and, stretching toward the edges of the site, create internal plazas.
The building’s facades are made of white matte glass, which contrasts with the surrounding structures and lends
the complex a sense of cohesiveness. The volumes are staggered across levels, creating cantilevers and terraces
that function as viewing platforms.

The internal atrium serves as a unified circulation hub, providing access to all functional blocks. The open storage
block of the Moscow section features its own central atrium space. The visitor route is centered around the atrium,
while technical corridors for transporting exhibits are located along the perimeter. The two exhibition blocks
feature flexible layouts to facilitate changing displays.
The concise, solid facades emphasize the building's primary function – secure storage and exhibitions. Through
various lighting scenarios, a diversity of perceptual experiences is achieved, allowing the image to change and
transform.
