The territory around the Okhtinsky Razliv is unique, as it comprises the preserved buildings of the former Okhta Gunpowder Plant founded in 1715 and a recreational landscape rare for the urban area. The residential development concept was based on these two features.

The art-deco residential buildings create a rhythmic composition around a constructivist landmark, that being the former Levashovsky Bread Factory.

The residential buildings are coloured as various gem stones: amethyst, amber, emerald, sapphire, and are “beaded” on the “lace” of embowed commercial buildings.
