"The designed building has an elongated “drop-shaped” shape and is based on the principle of form rotation - creating a dynamic shell formed by the displacement of a certain geometric volume in height, from floor to floor, rushing upward", - Irina Krivtsova - the chief architect of the project - notes. "The hotel building is a space-planning object that compositionally meets all the urban planning features of this site".
