Luxury Village

Luxury Village is an exclusive shopping street situated in a new urban development in the forests just outside of Moscow. In addition to 60 high end shops, such as Prada, Gucci, Rolls Royce and Yves Saint Lauren, the street acts as a 'spill out' for a luxury hotel and casino which will be completed in 2006.

Dutch clay bricks are laid out in two intertwining patterns.

The street is finished using 'Dutch clay bricks' - an uncommon paving material for Russia. Laid in two inter-twining patterns, the first pattern is a modern interpretation of the old fan shaped pattern. The second being a dual coloured pattern that cuts through the first. Each brick is custom cut and fit, resulting in a sequence of lines, juxtaposed against the rigid, wooden facades of the shops.
