Gork, impressive Atlantes sculpture

Atlantes

Project: House with Atlantes
Developer: VMS Development
Arch: Tsimailo Lyashenko & Partners
Ph: Kirill Gorozhanin


Three years ago, in a conversation with Sergey Reshotkin, the head of VMS Development, I was surprised to learn that the Rukavishnikovs' Estate in Nizhny Novgorod had inspired the reconstruction of one of their projects. For me, the estate is associated with another of their works — the House with Atlantes.

The sculptural group with atlantes has become the hallmark of the project. It was restored first and has become a reason for passersby to stop and cars to slow down.

I had an unfinished business for a long time: to snap a picture of them before the restoration was completed. I managed it :) Now we are waiting to admire the whole composition.

P. S. The rather expensive apartments in this cozy corner of Kitay-gorod, according to Yandex data, are almost all sold out! I am sure the atlantes played a significant role in this.
