Landscape design for Razdory, Moscow

Randle Siddeley Associates were appointed by Parcel Development to provide a landscape design for the Razdory Phase 3B1 residential development, which consists of 15 high-end Show Homes. The area is part of larger masterplan modelled on Londons Regent Park. The site is approximately 200 hectares and borders the existing village of Razdory which is situated to the west of Moscow within the Moscow City region.

In creating the neighbourhood a series of landmarks have been designed. The main focal point within the public realm is the Hub, which identifies the development as a high class residential destination. This forms the central focus of the area, connecting primary and secondary axis’s linking the site to the wider landscape.

The aim of RSA’s landscape masterplan is to create an environment with a sense of place and identity that will establish and preserve a level of quality and value for the existing and proposed Razdory Masterplan area. The design promotes an idea of community for both the public and private resident and therefore will give a sense of a special and identifiable place. The design harmoniously merges the residential buildings, road hierarchy, and people, which creates a neighbourhood of discerning character.

The choice of materials clearly identifies and defines both the public and private spaces, whilst establishing a relationship between the house and the street through hard and soft landscape materials in both the formal and informal setting.

Part of the wider design brief was to create a number of semi-public realm forecourts and private gardens which offer a variety of contrasting landscapes that can be amended to suit various building characters, emphasising the English Landscape within a Moscow setting.
