Moscow is actively changing and transforming. Its modern appearance is shaped by ambitious and vibrant projects emerging in new areas of urban development. Among them is Emotion, a project by Osnova Group, now being implemented in the “Big City” district. The architectural and visual concepts of the project are built around the main idea of movement and a sense of lightness that comes with it. Life in Emotion will be comfortable thanks to its convenient location and rich infrastructure, while investing in property here could become a profitable opportunity.
The Emotion concept was developed by the renowned architectural bureau KAMEN Architects, which previously created MIRAPOLIS on Mira Avenue for Osnova Group — a project that, in less than a year since its launch, has already attracted attention from both market experts and real estate buyers.
Emotion occupies a 1.38-hectare site at 2nd Silikatny Proyezd, 8. Administratively, it belongs to the Khoroshevo-Mnevniki district, but in fact, it is part of “Big City”, a key area on Moscow’s new urban map. The nearby Zvenigorodskoye Highway serves as a major route for residents of the Novorizhskoye Highway and the prestigious western neighborhoods traveling toward the city center. According to Ivan Grekov, head of KAMEN Architects, this transport artery is one of the main perception points of the project:
“It’s an important city artery, with a massive flow of people moving along it, and the construction site of the complex is a symbolic location — the ‘gateway’ to the city center from Big City,” he says.
The creators of Emotion sought to capture precisely this sense of dynamism and movement, calling the project “architectural origami.”
“At some point, the entire building folds into a single plane, and then, as we move slightly forward, it begins to unfold,” explains Ivan Grekov.
In essence, it’s a spatial sculpture, where nothing is accidental.
Grekov notes that often, even the most beautiful original project ideas tend to get simplified during construction. However, in the case of Emotion, things are moving differently:
“We’ve come a long way — received architectural and urban planning approval, gained support from Moskomarkhitektura, and passed expert review. Our solutions were accepted in full by the client, which means we managed to convince everyone,” he says.
