Brick is an inexhaustible natural, eco-friendly and durable construction material. And these days several architects are exploring innovative ways to employ this product in construction and design. The residential building - Sadovye Kvartaly- at Moscow is no exception.

The residence is a segment of the development of block No. 3 and is linked to the two houses nearest to it, constructed as per the projects of other agencies, by a stylobate part.
