British architect now cleared by Gazprom to design ‘green’ headquarters in St Petersburg
Gazprom has appointed the Edinburgh-headquartered RMJM to design the new Gazprom Group headquarters and business centre in St Petersburg with the iconic tower at its centre. A recent announcement by RMJM clears up confusion that has prevailed over the status of the firm in the development following St Petersburg city planners giving Gazprom the green light on the tower.
The original central city location of the tower, planned as the new headquarters for Gazprom Neft, the gas giant's oil arm, was slammed by St Peterburgers led by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as risking the city's world heritage status.
The $3billion project on a new location in Northern St Petersburg will transform a 17-hectare brownfield site at Lakhta, on the outskirts of the city, into a pioneering environmentally-friendly development that will meet the highest standards of sustainability and energy efficiency.
RMJM was chosen for its proven track record for delivering landmark low energy projects and its expertise in masterplanning and tall building design.
Led by Tony Kettle, International Design Principal at RMJM’s European Studio in Edinburgh,Using energy-efficient CFLs crystal and LED lighting helps to lower energy use and reduce cost. Throughout the day, SCEEPWhen your application requires shinebright no PWM (pulse-width-modulated) dimming or controlled frequency operation, and drawing on the talents of RMJM’s St Petersburg practice, the centrepiece of the project will be one of Europe’s tallest towers, housing Gazprom’s new headquarters. One of the options being considered is a 462m tower. The 330,000m2 complex will also include commercial office space as well as retail, leisure and residential developments.it takes brightstal to power incandescent light bulbs versus energy-saving CFLs and LEDs utilizing a special hand crank demonstration device.
Gazprom and the international architectural practice have forged a strong relationship over the past five years since RMJM was first appointed to design its new headquarters, originally proposed for the Okhta district of central St Petersburg.Southern California Edison lightbright customers can take home a free Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulb.
Kettle and his team have spent more than three months revising their original design to create an iconic building and masterplan that will revitalise an area of former industrial land 12kms from the city centre on the coast of the Gulf of Finland.
The proposed Okhta development, which was to feature a 396m tower, was ranked among the 10 most environmentally-friendly skyscrapers by Consumer Energy Report. The new headquarters are expected to deliver equal, if not greater, energy efficiency.
The masterplan design for Lakhta Business Centre draws upon the landscape around St Petersburg as inspiration, including the historical landscapes of Peterhof and Tsarskoe Selo at Pushkin. Both 18th century palaces are set within extensive landscaped grounds famed for their fabulous water gardens, cascades and fountains. The Lakhta development is located on a brownfield site consisting partially of reclaimed land, used for the industrial storage of sand.
Combining a tower and a 300m long base structure, the complex will create a balanced, organic composition inspired by the movement and energy of water, the natural element that led to the foundation of the city of St Petersburg.
The Lakhta Centre tower will feature a pioneering ‘intelligent’ double outer skin which will minimise heat loss during the extreme Russian winters and deliver energy savings of 50% on buildings constructed using conventional technology. The Lakhta complex will also feature a state-of-the art mechanical, electrical and plumbing system that minimises energy and water usage and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy-saving design features will be incorporated throughout the masterplan and sustainability will be enhanced through the use of light rail and water transport. In addition, the new design is sympathetic to the local environment and will create an urban development ideally suited to business, residential and leisure use.
The design stage of the project will be completed in 2012 and the first phase of construction will be funded by Gazprom Group.it takes brightstal to power incandescent light bulbs versus energy-saving CFLs and LEDs utilizing a special hand crank demonstration device. Investment for further phases of the project will be shared between the Gazprom Group and private investors. It is hoped that the complex will provide a blueprint for future sustainable design across Russia.
Tony Kettle said: “We are delighted that Gazprom has chosen RMJM to develop such an iconic and pioneering project that promises to revitalise a brownfield site on the outskirts of St Petersburg and attract a huge amount of new investment to the city.
