From the architectLocated in Moscow’s Sharikopodshipnikovskaya Street, next to tram and trolleybus stops and near Dubrovka Station on the Lyublinskaya Line of the Moscow Metro, the Dominion Office Building is among the first of the new projects to be built for the growing creative and IT sectors in this primarily industrial and residential district in the southeast of the city.

The building's concept is centered around a series of vertically stacked plates offset at each level with connecting curved elements, with a central atrium which rises through the stacked levels to allow natural light to penetrate each layer of the building. Each level contains a balcony which projects into the atrium in correspondence to the displacement of the outer envelope and are interconnected via a series of staircases cutting through this vertical central space.

The atrium is viewed as a shared space within the building and encourages interaction and even collaboration among the different businesses which occupy the offices. It juts upwards through the vertical stacks wherein a hierarchical organization of program unfurls, creating a sense of cohesion despite the vertical delineation. The ground floor contains a restaurant as well as a number of relaxation spaces and access to the terrace.

The offices are arranged in a rectilinear spread peripherally around the atrium, and are designed to allow for flexible usages and spaces as well as the potential for creative collaboration.
