Peter Sheard CMLI - Landscape Design - One Konoshaya Square, St Petersburg, Russia.

One Konoshaya Square,
St Petersburg, Russia.

The landscape design in and around this former Imperial stable buildings in the centre of St Petersburg was a highly sensitive intervention that responded to the historic setting of the buildings. The stables were being refurbished as residential units and retail businesses and involved proposing a series of private gardens, more ornate semi private terraces; and a main focus square with water elements and a sculptural glazed staircase to the lower levels and basements.

An area outside the building recommended improvements to the streetscape and public realm including a new square which could accommodate drop off’s and terraces to the new retail operations.

The proposals received approval from the City Authorities.
