We were the lighting designers for this contemporary commercial redevelopment of the historic Bolshevik Candy Factory in Moscow. Our scope of work included the retained historic building facades, landscape, internal shell and core areas, atria and typical office floors. The office spaces boast exceptional views over Moscow City and beyond.
The 50,000 sq. m. scheme includes 17 historic buildings including listed buildings dating from 1884 which were the first buildings in Moscow to boast electric light, as well as a new art gallery housing the client’s collection of Russian Impressionist art. The scheme is an important example of adaptive re-use, which has transformed an area of industrial heritage into a dynamic, mixed-use commercial hub.
