The Metropolis company has developed a concept for a large-scale multifunctional quarter, the «First Quarter» in Bishkek – a modern «city within a city» that fits organically into the cultural context of Kyrgyzstan and its majestic mountain landscapes.

Architectural concept: mountainous relief in urbanism

The key idea of the architects is to create a unique urban environment, where architecture becomes a continuation of the natural environment and the cultural code of the region.

Silhouette of the city. The composition of the block is formed by expressive high-rise dominants – an office tower – 16 floors, apartments – 21 floors – and horizontal accents, reminiscent of the majestic rock formations of the Jety-Oguz gorge. This stepped, layered silhouette gives Bishkek a new, memorable appearance.

Ornamental facades. The architectural design of the buildings draws inspiration from the fine ornaments of the famous Burana Tower, creating a visual connection with the rich historical and cultural heritage of Kyrgyzstan.

Mountain Spaces. The spaces between the buildings are designed as winding mountain streams and gorges. A network of flowing alleys and pedestrian routes integrated into the master plan give the block depth, dynamics and intriguing multi-layering.

Functional zoning

The First Quarter combines all the necessary functions for living, working and relaxing.

Premium apartments – 27 500 m² | 50%:

1. High-rise buildings of 16 and 21 floors, united by a stylobate
2. Private courtyards for residents
3. Panoramic views of the mountains from most apartments.

Modern offices – 16 500 m² | 30%: 16-story tower with a stylobate connecting it to the apartment towers.

Hotel – 6 050 m² | 8%: 6-story building.

Retail premises – 4 950 m² | 12%:

1. Separate one-story building
2. Premises on floors 1-2 of the stylobate of the office and apartment towers.

Infrastructure

1. Convenient pedestrian connections: the main flow is directed from the intersection through the stylobate, providing transit to the hotel and access to neighboring streets.
2. Commercial and public spaces on the ground floors.

The Metropolis concept for the «First Quarter» in Bishkek is a synthesis of modern urbanism, respect for the nature of the mountains and a deep understanding of the cultural identity of the place. We create not just buildings, but a harmonious environment where history and landscape inspire the architecture of the future.
