This residential complex project in Uzbekistan is imbued with elements of Eastern culture, providing a new and forward-thinking architectural concept.
A step towards transforming and elevating the approach to modern architecture in Uzbekistan, this project is about the future, architecture for people, and the richness of tradition. Each residential block has a unique name and style, which are evident in the facade's decorative elements.

The concept is based on combining traditional motifs with modern architectural solutions. Orient City's architecture is a 21st-century interpretation of an ancient eastern fairy tale. Borrowed from the story, there is a "house sky" with extensive glazing on its facade and a "house rock," which has an angular outline and is lined with natural stone. Vertical foliage of "houses-forests" and "house-gardens" evokes the image of a shimmering green oasis in the middle of the desert.
At the heart of the project is a river park, a recreational zone featuring fountains, streams, cafes, restaurants, a market square, and shops peppered with solar tents in the form of cotton-filled bottles. They form the shadow of a cotton mall, where one can seek refuge from the sweltering sun which beats down on the site.

The local climate was a major consideration in designing this project. Because the sun is so strong in this location, the most expensive apartments are located on the lower floors. A cooling façade constructed from vertical foliage, balconies, pergolas, and windows hidden in niches keeps the interior climate comfortable for the residents of all floors.
