The “Klimashkina 7/11” Club House is a deluxe-class project by developer MR Group located on the street of the same name in Moscow’s Presnensky District. The concept was developed by architect Sergey Choban as a dialogue with the site’s historical context.
The nine-story building bridges two eras. The lower floors preserve a section of the wall from a 1905 apartment building—Moscow’s first “skyscraper,” designed by Ernst-Richard Niernsee, a leading high-rise architect of the early 20th century. The upper floors are clad in panoramic glass with bronze and wooden vertical frame mullions, while the white-stone base retains an arched portal and Art Nouveau stucco decoration.
The building will feature 46 residences ranging in size from 50 to 157 m²—one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as six exclusive penthouses with terraces. Each floor features two to four apartments, so the hallway does not become a public thoroughfare. Ceilings in the residences reach 3.25 m, and select units feature private terraces of up to 36.6 m².
The common areas continue the building’s private atmosphere. The lobby, with ceilings nearly 5 m high, welcomes residents with coffee and bar areas, while the courtyard features an intimate Scandinavian garden, L.BURO—featuring coniferous trees, shaded paths, and a playground. Beneath the building is a parking garage with 55 spaces, including five equipped with charging stations for electric cars.
The neighborhood retains the atmosphere of quiet, intellectual Presnya: nearby are Krasnaya Presnya Park, the Patriarch’s and Krasnogvardeisky Ponds, Zurab Tsereteli’s studio, and the Roman Catholic Cathedral. Also nearby are the Zotov Center and the Museum of Russian Impressionism. It’s about a 10-minute drive to Moscow’s business district and about a 10–12-minute walk to the Barrikadnaya metro station.
