The proposed residential neighborhood is located in the Northeastern part of Yerevan, in Arinj district.
The site is adjacent to Artashat Highway from the East and M. Mkrtchyan street from the North. It has an emphasized relief with a difference of 24m from the South to the North. The area of the site is about 13 hectares.
The site is divided into three different residential typologies (scales) and sports facilities, where the main concept for all types is to bring nature into buildings and provide residents with a healthy environment. The streets network is designed with a pedestrian priority.
The first part of the site which faces M. Mkrtchyan street is designed by two mid-rise (5-7 story) residential blocks with semi-public courtyards with commercial areas on the ground floor.
The middle part of the site is planned to have two low-rise (3-4 story) residential buildings.
The rest of the site is developed by townhouses, which are designed by blocks providing semi-public courtyards for each block. Those courtyards are connected with pedestrian paths, furnished with diverse playgrounds for kids, different recreation zones and green areas. Meanwhile, all townhouses have their front and back yards. The sports facilities are located at the corner of the site adjacent to Artashat Highway and M. Mkrtchyan street.
Sports facilities include a gym, outdoor and indoor swimming pool, universal sports field, tennis and basketball courts, and different activities for a healthy lifestyle.
The approximate construction area is about 127.000 sq. m: 2.900 sq. m for sports facilities, 78.000 sq. m for residential buildings, 45.000 sq. m for townhouses and about 45.000 sq. m. for greenery.
Based on today’s needs the neighborhood will also include office (co-working) spaces for residents, which will help save time on the commute.
The core concept of the neighborhood is to contribute a quality lifestyle with all necessary amenities in a safe, comfortable and ecologically friendly environment.
