Vladislav Doronin on the Capital Hill Residence

“I asked Zaha to build my private residence outside Moscow. I told her ‘I want to wake up in the morning and just see blue sky.’ She said, ‘you realise you have to be above the trees?’”
Vladislav Doronin of OKO Group discusses the Capital Hill Residence with the Financial Times

“It has Zaha’s signature features of organic intricacy, complexity, of spatial arrangements, a lot of surprises, a lot of craftiness and beauty in the honing of the shape and forms. But even more than that, it is, in the words of both architect and client, a ‘dream house’ — as much fantasy as reality, an idea of architecture that still seems somehow impossible.”
