DESIGN NAME: Rublev Lounge
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Business Lounge
INSPIRATION: The concept of the architect for the terminal is the constructivism movement. Constructivism was an artistic and architectural philosophy that originated in Russia beginning in 1913 by Vladimir Tatlin. This was a rejection of the idea of autonomous art. He wanted 'to construct' art. This movement with the famous artists as Vladimir Tatlin and Kazimir Severinovitsj Malevitsj influenced the whole world.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design of the lounge is inspired upon constructivism. By using the beautiful shaped union towers as eye catchers in the lounge to create different areas in the lounge area as a certain kind of zoning.
The total capacity of the lounge is 460 seats that are marked and separated with three union formed frames with special printed carpet. The seating area is fore seen with different kind seating’s, for dining, working, comfort and relaxing.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The lighting concept of the lounge is dynamic; we created a warm an inviting atmosphere, the lighting is following the differences during day and nighttime and changes in temperature and volume. These ceiling structures with wooden slats follow the architectural construction of the terminal hall. In the ceiling we created round shaped elements. These elements opens up the lounge to the sky, and are made of special indirect lighted and printed cloth.
The materials used in the lounge are marble, steel and copper, glass and wood. Only natural and sustainable products from the surrounding of Moscow.
The round shaped staircase and the glass elevator in the middle gives an entrance to the mezzanine floor with a bar, kitchen, various seating’s and relax, meeting plus sleeping rooms.
The staircase is covered in copper, the round shaped surrounding wall is a big mirror that extend the spacious feeling. The upper floor has the benefit of being raised above the lounge and therefor it is a more quiet and exclusive environment.
