"NIKOLSKI ROWS" Russian | English about the project news Historical reference Project participants Location Contacts about the project The concept of adapting the Nikolsky market building for modern use was developed by Evgeny Gerasimov & Partners LLC and provides for the placement of a multifunctional complex on this territory. The projected hotel and business center is focused on the reception, accommodation and service of guests with a business and tourism focus, and includes the following main divisions: A 4 **** hotel under the Crowne Plaza brand with 350 rooms; Class "A" business center with an area of 8 thousand square meters; Conference center with an area of 3 thousand sq. M. Fitness and SPA center with an area of over 3 thousand sq. M. Underground 2-level parking for more than 200 cars. The concept of adapting the building of the Nikolsky market for modern use provides for two interrelated aspects, 2 architectural directions (tradition + innovation): Comprehensive overhaul and restoration and restoration of a historic building in full, based on the findings of technical expertise (taking into account the modern function); Increase of the total area of the complex due to the projected underground and aboveground parts of the inner courtyard space and overlapping the courtyard space with a light-permeable roof over large-span structures. The main task of the proposed concept is to "fit" new organizational, constructive and architectural realities into the context of the old, dilapidated building of the former Nikolsky market, taking into account the historical and architectural significance and conservation status of the object. At the same time, it is important to identify and not destroy, while adding a modern function, the historically valuable environment of this place, while preserving for future generations a cultural monument of the end of the 18th century. © 2009 JSC "Nikolskie Ryady"
