Wowhaus came up with an idea for how to create an alternative to the main entrance to Gorky Park. By way of contrast with the granite and marble that are the dominant presence at the front entrance, we have used wood for the ‘welcome zone’ leading from Pushkin (Andreevsky) Bridge.

The project concerns the creation of a new residence on an existing plot in a small settlement, just outside the city of Heraklion.
