The MVRDV Building 'Silhouette' is a Modern Multi-Use Tower Block
Madison Mackay — January 25, 2018 — Art & Design
Dutch architecture company MVRDV created a 78 meter tall, multi-use tower block. The complex features luxury apartments, office spaces, a sports utility space, a green rooftop terrace and a grocery store in the basement.
Using a modern modular system, the tower was created to feature a red distinctive facade, with a sloping roof contrasting it from surrounding buildings. Located in the center of downtown Moscow, 'Silhouette' was made in collaboration with the ministry of agriculture to create a 'gateway into Moscow.'
This new multi-use tower is the first building to combine work and living in the area, creating a space for the community to come together and appreciate the fine architecture, modern amenities, and to be in walking distance to the city center.
