russian billionaire vladislav doronin has commissioned zaha hadid to design a house in moscow, russia for himself and his supermodel girlfriend naomi campbell. the spaceship-like abode is located in barvikha, surrounded by pine and birch trees reaching up to 20 meters high providing a bit of privacy. the overall design of the 2,650 square meter ‘capital hill residence’ features two spatial components. the main program materializes from its hill-side location, housing the more communal living and dining spaces, while an approximately 22-meter high tower structure, reminiscent of a periscope, emerges upwards from the central volume offering dynamic views of the surrounding wooded landscape.

more commentsa house should be appealing, the sight of it should invoke feelings of belonging and comfort. to me atleast, this house screams “aliens aboard- stay away”. but apart from all that, it is truly a masterpiece. just out of context.
Truly sad how some go through life and never get a clue!!!
Would make a nice hospital/clinic/psychiatric unit. I would need therapy if I had to live in it. Naomi will be bored looking at all those trees!!!
