Project description
This residential complex project in Uzbekistan is imbued with elements of Eastern culture, providing a new and forward-thinking architectural concept.

This project represents a step toward transforming and elevating modern architecture in Uzbekistan, focusing on the future, human-centered design, and the richness of tradition. Each residential block has a unique name and style, which are evident in the facade's decorative elements.

The project will be built on the site between Fargon Jüli and Kushpurik Streets. The total area of the building is 1,507,000 sq. ft. The residential complex is located just 2.5 km from the city center and 2 km from the Tashkent metro station.

Project concept:
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. Inspired by the story, the design includes a 'house sky' with extensive glazing on its facade and a 'house rock' with an angular outline, clad in 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 adorned with solar tents in the form of cotton-filled bottles. These tents create the shadow of a cotton mall, providing refuge from the sweltering sun that beats down on the site.

The local climate was a major consideration in designing this project. Due to the intense sunlight in this region, the most expensive apartments are located on the lower floors. A cooling facade constructed from vertical foliage, balconies, pergolas, and windows hidden in niches keeps the interior climate comfortable for the residents of all floors.
