Wow!

Very impressive. The layout of the site is nice that it places a focus on that indoor garden/atrium space. The towers are rather nice too. Clean shape and vertical lines without being wacky.

I like it already.

Almost looks like something that would occur naturally somewhere.

I love it. Will the domed roof really be able to open like on the video?

The tallest tower looks like it's just a tall building with balconies wrapped in glass. I love that there are atrium's all over the place and the roofs are covered in grass. Very nice. I don't like the video though, it's a little corny. And why did they have to show that couple in the bathtub?

Glass is in. If you don't stick to the times you won't do as well. Specially outside North America. It won't look like the rest of the world either. It has a different design. The closest tower that I can think of that looks like these towers is the Sky Tower in Dubai and probably not even.

I like it. I really like that the towers are a little separated from each other to lessen the congestion around that area. Like the hotel towers, the residential towers, the office towers, they are like scattered in a "random pattern."

So looking at the google maps, this is across town from where the Russia tower and that other section of new supertalls are being built. it would be cool to spearhead a new commercial district. Although the towers look nice, im not into the layout. Its the layout of a suburban office park. There is no street life at all. If this on purpose, perhaps for the cold winter? i dont know too much about moscow
