Na Nikitina residential quarter, Novosibirsk, Russia
In the early 20th century a market square and wooden cottages were sited in the area. The two-storey houses built just after WWII had fallen into ruin by the early 21 century and their residents were relocated. In 2016 Brusnika development company proceeded to design and construct a new housing estate on the site. The master plan, the architecture concept and the fronts of houses were designed by the Netherlands based DROM bureau. The core of the master plan is to restore the historic grid of streets and the outline of quarters, while preserving human-scaled proportions and open structure built-up areas.
