This project attempts to extract and casually put together the better quali- ties of both prototypical situations: Europe+Russia = Eureka On the one hand, EUREKA maintains the spacious parameters of a classi- cal block and secures the private exclusive character of its inner commu- nal courtyard. The proposed composition is easily recognized as an urban unit: it gives a sense of particular address in the city and makes clear distinction between the private and public/street space. On the other hand, it plays out the familiar scale of the five-storey build- ing and the qualities of the standard Soviet layout. With traditional proportions improved, building materials brought to another level, and apartments planned to suit contemporary lifestyles, EUREKA still ac- knowledges its distant kinship with the microrayon and on the scale of the individual building – with khrushchevka. It is an ideal living environ- ment for those who grew up in the Soviet city but work and travel today all over the world.
