Residential construction in Russia
The Vasilyevsky Island, St. Petersburg
In the beginning of 2016 started EKE-Engineering to construct an apartment house block of 317 apartments in St. Petersburg, on the Vasilyevsky Island next to the historical city centre. Design solutions in Dve Epohi (Two Centuries) represent two different eras: the modern buildings respect the traditional facade architecture typical of St. Petersburg. The car park beneath the site has approximately 180 parking spaces, and commercial premises are located on the street level. Once the western bypass road of St. Petersburg was completed in 2017, the Vasilevskiy Island got a rapid connection to the north and south bypassing the traffic jams in the city center.
Dve Epohi apartment house block was commissioned in September 2018. See video on the progress of construction as of March 2018.
