Urt Tsagaan

Awarded "First place" in the national conceptual model design contest for the for the redevelopment of the "Urt Tsagaan" commercial and shopping center.

This project has won the 1st place in conceptual design for a redevelopment of an existing shopping district. The site is located in the heart of the city center covering a total area of 1.72 hectares. The roof of the building is designed as a green roof including solar panels. In order to maximize the duration of solar radiation into the building, we chose a wide rather than deep space planning by increasing the façade elements exposed to the sun, and created a dynamic shape so that the outward view of each building is free of facing each other. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of the public, the central part of the shopping district is detached from the main traffic by pedestrian path with different levels of movement throughout the district. In accordance with the needs of the residents, 2 floors of services, kindergarten, indoor and 4-story outdoor parking spaces, green facilities, four-season playgrounds, sports fields, and winter gardens are planned for all age groups. In the near future the city has also planned to place a historical statue and sculptures within the project area.
