A Courtyard for All Generations in a New Residential Complex Built Under Moscow’s Renovation

Client: Moscow Residential Renovation Fund.

Objective: To develop the courtyard of a new residential complex comprising three buildings with 524 apartments. The project aimed to create spaces for children’s play, independent exercise, and relaxation, taking into account the needs of residents of different ages.

Solution: The courtyard was divided into dedicated children’s play and sports areas. For younger children, the equipment was selected to combine imaginative play, fine motor skill development, and physical activity. The variety of play elements allows children to gradually develop new skills.

The sports area was equipped to accommodate different fitness levels. Pull-up bars, parallel bars, and exercise benches support bodyweight training, while outdoor fitness machines provide opportunities for general physical conditioning without the need to visit a gym.

Impact-absorbing surfacing was installed in the play and sports areas. Seating areas were provided nearby, allowing parents to stay close to their children and residents to alternate between physical activity and relaxation.

Result: As part of Moscow’s residential renovation program, the complex gained a landscaped courtyard offering everyday recreational opportunities for residents of all generations. The combination of play, sports, and relaxation areas allows residents to enjoy a variety of activities without leaving the courtyard.
