Village 24

A 300-hectare residential village masterplan outside Moscow, organised as interconnected little neighborhoods along the riverbank.

Key challenge

Balancing privacy and community in a residential development — encouraging cooperation and interaction while preserving each household's individuality, and achieving a sense of security through spatial organisation rather than intrusive measures.

Concept

Village 24 reimagines village life for the modern era: interconnected ‘little neighborhoods,’ each with shared courtyards and ponds for community activity and rainwater harvesting, connected by pathways meandering along the riverbank.

Village 24 is a residential project that reimagines village life for the modern era. We designed this community to offer the charm and security often associated with village living while catering to the contemporary lifestyle expectations of its residents. By prioritizing shared spaces and a strong sense of community, Village 24 creates an environment that feels safe and welcoming, without the need for intrusive security measures.
