Association 22.15 is a village whose main idea is to bring together people with common interests, preferences and value systems around modern architecture.
For the basic idea we took the aesthetic principles of Suprematism and developed a unique planning framework. The avant-garde philosophy of the project can be traced in the deconstructive elements of external landscaping, color contrasts, and creates visual accents of the neighborhood.
We always start our work on a large project with an analysis. This is a fundamental stage, because it is from understanding the context of the area we choose the most rational solutions. When analyzing the topography, we started from the existing system of green spaces. We made sure that the layout of the streets with pedestrian paths and delineation of plots does not contradict the natural landscape, but organically complements it.
One of the fundamental points of the analysis of the territory was geology. Our village is located near St. Petersburg in an area with lowlands and water bodies. There are also peat lenses there.
Therefore, we located capital buildings in places with the most reliable geology, and in places of lowlands, creeks and streams, we located recreational infrastructure, which does not require capital buildings.
It was very important to consider the dendrology. The customer provided us with a tree survey, so our goal was to save as many trees as possible. The site visit gave us an understanding of the preferred types of plantings (perennial and mixed) and those that we could sacrifice (young growth) when forming the planning system.
The next step is to study the area by photo and video materials (obtained from the customer or as a result of the architect's visit to the site). At this stage we can highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of the area, which will subsequently serve as a basis for developing a strategy for positioning the village.
After the analysis stage, we form an area balance, that is, the distribution of each function present in the settlement, as a percentage.
Next, we calculate the technical and economic indicators based on regulatory documents, offer the customer several options for the development of the territory, and then detail the most appropriate version of the goals of the customer.

After completion of the analytical phase, with the allocation of the main goals and objectives, we proceed to the formation of architectural and planning concept of the settlement with the detailed study of all its elements - from the master plan to the elements of improvement.
When distributing points of attraction in the form of recreational areas, playgrounds and sports grounds, it is very important to consider the radius of accessibility. Therefore, we placed them at a distance from the roadway and at the same time evenly distributed across the territory of the village, taking into account the topology of the favorable and unfavorable development.
In the central part of the village we have located a club house, referring to the historical formation of settlements. The main building serves as a compositional center, around which the block with a grid of streets is grouped. In the entrance area we have located shopping and sports facilities, as these functions can be used for commercial purposes not only for the residents of the village, but also for visitors from nearby settlements.

Tracing pedestrian connections with an abrupt change in geometry allows us to create closed perspectives with visual accents that we create ourselves using architecture and art objects as part of the landscaping.

Making reference to the granite embankments of St. Petersburg, we have provided the interaction of man with nature direct contact with water through the elements of landscaping.

Creating natural playgrounds allows not only laconically fit into the formed forest areas, but also provides an opportunity for urban children to communicate with nature: to play with sand and water, on the grass, etc.
Integrating playgrounds into the terrain creates a more interesting play space.

Since we had the task to optimize the development taking into account the active topography, we took as a basis 3 types of houses of different sizes and principles of integration into the site. Thus, in the project presented: a flat house, a house with rising relief and driving from the bottom, the house with lowering relief and driving from the top.
This technique allows you to distribute all the houses without complicating the actual implementation.

The character of the terrain brings uniqueness and dynamism to the overall typology of the houses. This typological system makes it possible to preserve the natural integrity of the site as much as possible, to optimize the development and to fill its perspective with diversity.
The landscaping, imbued with the mood of Suprematism, also supports modern ideas in ecology.
A variety of perennial plants and the creation of a controlled wild environment make the surroundings attractive and interesting.
There is a systematic management of nature in its natural state thanks to cereal plants, marsh grass growing in low-lying areas, small architectural forms made exclusively of ecological materials. Also an important role is played by eco-trails made of natural board and retaining walls, allowing to preserve the relief and barrier-free environment.
