City Palace Spiral Tower Building in Moscow is the latest spiral building in Russia with the magnificient design, technology and architecture. The City Palace Tower development is the latest addition to ‘Moscow-City’, a major initiative by the Russian capital to create a central business district on a former industrial zone, three miles from the Kremlin. The ‘sexy’, organic form of the building, which was designed by RMJM in collaboration with Scottish artist Karen Forbes, mixes passion and drama with a conventional square footprint ideal for offices and other commercial uses. For client City Palace LLC, a subsidiary company of CSC INTECO and S&T Equity (Overseas) Ltd, it is the perfect mix of form and function.
Dubbed the ‘City Palace’ tower, the twisting building will provide approximately 85,000m2 of retail and leisure facilities and 85,000m2 of offices and public functions including a registry office. It is this civic use for weddings which inspired the architect-artist team for the conceptual form of the building.The City Palace Tower building sits on a simple carved plinth containing a large retail mall and leisure facilities for the tower. The landscaped plinth will form the gateway to the City Palace Tower as well as the Moscow City Convention Centre and the Mayor’s Tower and will be broken into three distinct areas with varying levels to create a dramatic sense of arrival for each building. The cost to create this spiral building tower is £135m.
