Matrex

MATREX in Skolkowo

Matrex was built in 2015 at the Skolkowo Innovation Center near the Skoltech Complex. This project provides a basis for the development of information and energy-efficient technologies with a special focus on the transparency of space and work. The mixed-use building combines Class A and startup offices, apartments, a conversion hall, a spiral museum (exhibition spiral) and a restaurant. The truncated pyramid contains an inner space in the form of a huge matryoshka(a Russian doll).

Yeltsin Center

Yeltsin Center, Yekaterinburg

The Yeltsin Center is a novelty for Russia, a presidential center modeled on American presidential libraries . It is a social, cultural and educational institution established in Yekaterinburg, the birthplace of President Boris Yeltsin . The center houses a museum (European Museum of the Year 2016), an art gallery, an education center, a documentary film center, a bookstore, a café and other public facilities. For lack of free space, Bernaskoni was redesigned into an existing business center, to which he added a new shape, namely Yekaterinburg, which the architects portray as their "urban supergraphics".

Hypercube

HYPERCUBE, Skolkowo

Hypercube is the first building in the Skolkowo Innovation Center. The decision to build the Hypercube was made in 2010 by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev . The building is a communication platform that combines the roles of a public space and generator for new start-ups and part of a university campus. The building has its own autonomous energy and water supply systems. Hypercube was built according to the green standard " Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design " (LEED v3).

Arc

The Arc Pavilion was specially created for Archstoyanie, an architecture festival in Nikola-Lenivets. Arc stands on the border between forest and field. Its wooden elements are stacked on top of each other, with gaps that create spaces and stairs that lead to a lookout point. The interior is converted into an art installation every year. The materials that Arc is made of can be reused for useful building or heating purposes.

MIRROR MONGAYT

Mirror Mongayt

Bernaskoni solved the problem of how to build an environmentally friendly designer villa on a small budget. The front facade is designed as a temporary structure with mirror panels. It is assumed that the facade changes every eight years. Inside, the space is large, with high ceilings, open spaces, and an abundance of bare wood.
