Antonina Saprykina, a student at the Institute of Spatial Environment Design at St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, has designed an architectural concept for a club house. The project was completed as part of the student's thesis. The study focused on a 40,000-square-meter plot located at 40 Pesochnaya Naberezhnaya in the Petrogradsky District of St. Petersburg.
The area offers excellent transportation accessibility and a well-developed infrastructure. Until 2023, the site was occupied by the Leningrad House of Youth, which operated until 2019. The project's concept aims to create a space where a community of property owners with diverse social backgrounds but shared values and lifestyles can thrive. The focus is on creating a comfortable environment both inside the building and in the surrounding area, taking into account the historical significance of the location and modern requirements for premium housing.
The complex includes four residential buildings for couples with and without children, athletes, entrepreneurs, top managers, and other categories of owners. The residential complex consists of 42 apartments ranging in size from 150 m² to 390 m². The apartments are designed in such a way that each of them faces two directions of the world.
The author included an underground parking lot with 60 parking spaces in the project. Each block is designed for a specific building, and there are also separate spaces for employees of commercial organizations and for guest cars. There is also a co-working center and a separate play center for children. The 756 m² panoramic restaurant with 120 seats offers a panoramic view of the Malaya Nevka River, greenery, and the city skyline. This allows guests to enjoy both nature and architecture. The standalone spa center features a two-level gym and group training rooms, as well as several massage rooms, saunas, and hammams.
The building is located near the water, which creates a picturesque view and improves the microclimate. The green area in front of the building, with trees and shrubs, acts as an ecological buffer, improving air quality and creating a comfortable environment for residents.
Club construction, as a form of luxury housing, should consider not only aesthetic and functional aspects, but also create spaces that promote social interaction and comfort. This project represents a segment of luxury real estate that caters to discerning clients who value comfort, prestige, and security.
