The building’s project was developed by Ivan Kuznetsov in 1914, a famous Russian architect, and it was intended for storage of Danilovskaya Manufactory goods.
During the reconstruction, it had been considered crucial to keep to the historical appearance of the building. All the elements (both exterior and interior) available for retention have been left as they were. The lost elements have been patterned up to the maximum capacity of modern technologies.
For instance, several original wooden beams in the attic have been kept. Other beams have been patterned and nowadays open beams under the 7 meters roof ridge became decorative elements of the attic hosting the tenant offices.
Careful restoration of old elements and their harmonious combination with new ones is the key principle of the Danilovskaya Manufacture. Danilovskaya Manufacture Loft Quarter occupies an area of 7.65 hectares. Nowadays 6 buildings are under reconstruction. They will have been all finished by the end of 2012.
