Industrial Interior Design Idea from Moscow, Russia

Stairs in Industrial interior design duplex apartment in Moscow

This beautiful duplex loft with industrial interior design is decorated by Anna Pliss in Moscow, Russia. Loft is located in the former textile factory called "Danilovskaya manufacture" and it is really an unique place to live in.

Probably the most recognized feature of industrial design is exposed brick wall. Its red-ish color fits perfectly with dark furniture mostly bought across the Europe. Interiors are well lit by the daylight passing through large windows. Besides brick walls, this whole industrial atmosphere is highlighted with aged wood textures and steel pipes used as sculptures.

Mercury City Tower, located in the new business district of Moscow, Russia just pushed London's Shard of the throne taking its place as the tallest skyscraper in the Europe. Interesting fact is that Mercury City Tower was actually taller skyscraper than Shard at the time of announcement of new Europe's tallest located in London. Now that Moscow's tallest topped out, it's official and the tittle goes to Russia.

Mercury City Tower is 339m (1,112ft) tall with 75 floors while the Shard is 309m (1,014ft) tall with 73 floors. Design work is done by the Frank Williams and partners with M.M. Posokhin and G.L. Sirota. New skyscraper will be brand new headquarters for Mercury Development Company.

"Moscow is going through an architectural renaissance. The current transformation has to be credited to the city's Mayer, Yuri Luzhkov, who has a vast knowledge of international architecture as well as a great vision and love for the city of Moscow. The city has a "built architectural form" that is rich in complexity and scale. As a result the design of Mercury City Tower ties into the city's fabric and has a strong reference to Russian Constructivism. This Constructivism gives the tower a strong vertical thrust similar to the one found in New York's Chrysler Building. The comparative height to the top of the spire of Mercury City Tower is 200 feet higher than the famed Chrysler landmark.

The new tower is sheathed in a light, warm silver glass that will act as a background for Moscow's new City Hall, which has a rich red glass roofscape. This new City Hall sits adjacent to Mercury City Tower.

Frank Williams has opened an architectural office in Moscow with the renowned Moscow Architect Michael Posokhin. "Though blessed with an abundance of natural energy resources, it is important to conserve energy in a country like Russia," he says. Mercury City Tower is the first structure in Moscow to be recognized as a "green building," which means that is meets rigorous international standards.

"I'm always trying to look for the special, unique feeling of each site, and incorporate it in my design," he says. He emphasizes that the best work an architect can do is to create a building reflective of its true surroundings."
