Project 2018 was created more than 10 years ago as a joint project of the architectural bureau SPEECH Tchoban&Kuznetsov and Alexei Nazarenko
to manage projects, develop urban planning documentation, and act as for large objects planned for the FIFA World Cup in 2018.
The first such project was the Skolkovo Innovation Center layout project.
In 2012, the company began to independently develop urban planning documentation, and a year later it prepared and approved the project planning
of the residential development "Microtown in the forest" (3rd stage). Already at that time, Project 2018 was actively involved in all major urban projects
in Moscow, such as the construction of the transport interchange, the New Moscow, the Renovation Program, etc.
In 2014 we opened the direction of general design and volumetric architecture. Talented chief architects of projects with experience in leading architectural bureaus (Speech, TPO Reserve) come to the bureau: Alexander Laiko, Ekaterina Pauli, Alexander Ponomarev and others.
In 2018, the company created the Structural department, which in 2019 was headed by Igor Barabash, who also previously held similar positions at Mosproekt-2 named after M.V. Posokhin and TPO Reserve JSC.
Today they develop design solutions of any complexity not only for the company's own projects,
but also, for famous Russian and foreign bureaus such as OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), Erick van Egeraat, Mecanoo, SPEECH Tchoban&Kuznetsov and others.
Since 2021, Marina Egorova, former Deputy Director of the Moscow General Plan Institute for Reconstruction and Mandatory Inspection, and Head of the New Moscow Department of Moscow Architecture Committee, has become the company’s key partner in urban planning activities.
Now the company has more than 25 territory planning projects with the total area of more than 7 000 Ha.
According to the projects of the bureau about 1 million m² of objects of different purposes have been commissioned or are under active construction.
More than 500 000 m² are in the process of designing.
