Zhk rook. Residential complex "Ladya. Places for rest
in comparison with other regions of Kaliningrad, it occupies the most significant territory and has a large population. This, in turn, characterizes this area. The Leningrad region has the largest amount of infrastructure. Life is always in full swing here, it is here that there are most kindergartens, schools, cafes, restaurants, shops and everything that is needed even for an exquisite city dweller. Transport from this area goes to any part of the city, including the coast. However, it also has low-rise areas with green areas and large courtyards.
In the Leningradsky district there are several large highways leading to the exit from the city of st. Gagarin, Gorky Street, st. Chelnokov, A Nevsky St. (it is from this that the coastal ring begins, going towards the coast to Zelenogradsk and Svetlogorsk), as well as Moskovsky Prospect. There are several large microdistricts in the district:, Pervomaisky.
Places for rest
There are many parks, ponds and lakes on the territory of the district, including the famous water bodies of the city: , a great place to relax in the very center of the city, equipped with bicycle and walking paths, several large children's complexes and restaurants. (formerly Zamkovy Pond) consisting of cascades of lakes; a recreation area where museums combine with an amusement park, picturesque alleys, architectural monuments and refreshing lakes; ; . is a unique research museum, an institute consisting of several complexes of open-air exhibits, this place is a must-see.
History of the Leningrad Region.
It stretches on the site of the old Königsberg cities, capturing the suburbs and the deepest outskirts. Actually, the district could rightfully be called Central, if at the dawn of the city's restoration a different architectural idea had not prevailed.
The Leningradsky District is located on the territory of the former Konigsberg districts of Rothenstein, Maraunenhof, Lip, Kummerau, Kalthof, Palve and Devau. The district borders on the Moscow, Central districts of Kaliningrad and the Guryevsky district of the Kaliningrad region.
The Leningradsky District is located in the geographical center of the city. In the pre-war years, the Old Town and many architectural monuments, primarily the Royal Castle of Königsberg, were located on its territory. Some of them have survived to this day:
In the Leningrad region there are:
- Kaliningrad State Art Gallery(Moskovsky prospect, 60-62). The art gallery was founded in 1988. Her collection includes works of painting, graphics, sculpture and objects of decorative and applied art. In eight exhibition halls of the gallery, up to 30 exhibitions and art projects are annually held together with museums of Russia and Europe, Kaliningrad, Russian and foreign authors, scientific conferences and art plein airs are organized. The gallery has a lecture hall, library, children's art studio.
- Kaliningrad Regional History and Art Museum(Klinicheskaya st., 21). The History and Art Museum was founded as a local history museum in 1946. Since 1991, the museum has been located in the reconstructed building of the former city concert hall Stadthalle. There are permanent and temporary exhibitions in eleven exhibition halls of the museum.
The residential complex "Ladya" is a real Samara celebrity from the world of architecture: it made everyone's eyes callous, gave rise to a huge number of myths and carefully fenced off from the outside world. The tenants and managers of the building keep repeating the status of their residence in the complex and its developed infrastructure; the rest of the townspeople still think that the towers on Lesnaya will slip into the Volga not today tomorrow and gossip that the skyscrapers are half-empty, and that they have to pay a lot to join the elite. As part of the program to destroy legends, Bolshaya Derevnya talked with the resident of the Ladya penthouse and the architects about who lives in the iconic skyscraper, how much the utilities cost, and how long the Samara skyscraper will stand.
At high altitude
Rook Towers - 122 meters high
Construction of the Ladya began in 2003. According to the author of the project, Yuri Koryakin, this was the first building of twenty-five floors in the Volga region - Moscow experience was used in the development of the project and in the solution of engineering networks. The construction was carried out in three stages: the first candle of eighteen floors was handed over in 2004, another two, twenty-five each, in 2006 and 2008. Ladya still remains one of the tallest residential buildings in Samara - as much as 122 meters of glass and concrete.
City holidays are visible from the roof, but fireworks just do not reach the top.
Alexander is the owner of a two-story penthouse with a private terrace on the roof of one of the towers. The view of the Zhigulevskaya gate became one of the reasons for Alexander to move to a high-rise on Lesnaya. The apartments in Ladya have full-length panoramic windows. City holidays are visible from the roof, but fireworks simply do not reach the top: residents look down at the fireworks.
What is it worth
Children's and sports grounds and the Ladya walking area are formed by the roof of the basement "Ladya" was erected on the site of the Soviet long-term construction - the "Tourist" hotel. According to the architect Vitaly Stadnikov, the construction of the residential complex benefited a previously deserted area - thanks to the skyscrapers, a pedestrian zone has developed here, for example, a boulevard appeared on Chelyuskintsev.
The sports ground is empty, as are the apartments of "Ladya" The relief damaged the reputation of the building: even before the start of construction, the complexity of the soil was widely discussed - around two ravines with fill soils and karst voids. To prevent the "Ladya" from falling apart, it was placed on a foundation made of a monolithic slab reinforced with piles.
If there was a danger, everything would have already collapsed.
The three towers of the Rook stand on a common base. The three-storey stylobate (the common ground floor of the building together with its upper, above-ground, part - ed.) Appeared due to the relief difference. The stylobate contains the entire infrastructure of the complex: a parking lot with lifts leading directly to the entrances, boutiques, a restaurant, a spa, fitness and a supermarket. Children's and sports grounds and the Ladya walking area are located on the roof of the common ground floor. However, according to the architects, the area of the adjacent territory is hardly enough for a truly comfortable stay.
The nets in the Ladya are our own. This apartment is more expensive, but a communal apartment is cheaper. Now questions about the stability of the building cause rather bewilderment among architects: if there were a danger, everything would have collapsed long ago. But "yes, they are slipping into the water" is still the first reaction to the mention of the Rook towers. It seems that the construction company itself is trying to get rid of this association - if earlier the features of the foundation were explained in detail on the LCD website, now there is not a word about it.
Who lives in the elite
A foreign car under a layer of dust - typical of a Rook. Many people buy apartments here in reserve I have a neighbor whom in two years I saw at most a couple of times
According to Ladya, the total living area of the complex is 45 thousand square meters. Each of the three towers has one hundred apartments, now 90% are already sold out. According to tenants, many apartments in the Ladya are empty. Those who have a reserve here, but continue to live in country cottages. But, as they say, "no neighbors - no problems."
Alexander
resident of the residential complex "Ladya"
I have a neighbor whom I have seen a couple of times in two years. Many of the Ladya apartments are owned by famous athletes. A famous hockey player lives next to me. Personally, I have never seen him, but his mother has already stopped by.
Our penthouses have their own roof terraces. You can use them however you like. One of my neighbors just put in extra air conditioners there. Can afford it: he has a country house and a terrace unnecessarily. They say, for example, that they brought him a Jacuzzi bath directly from a helicopter through the roof.
How much to pay
Apricots and edible mulberry trees are grown in the courtyard of the Rook The prices of apartments in three "samovars", as they are popularly dubbed, make your head spin stronger than from the view from the upper floors: in the secondary housing market, a two-room apartment in Ladya costs about 12 million rubles, and for a four-room apartment they can ask for a space of 55 million - for comparison, with this money you can buy 16 apartments in Samara or start living in two cities, torn between the inscriptions on Nevsky and Patriarchs. Contrary to expectations, the communal apartment in Ladya does not tend to infinity: 45 rubles per square meter per month, on average - 6 thousand rubles per apartment. It is even cheaper than in the central area: according to Alexander, the maintenance of his apartment of 350 square meters is about 7-8 thousand versus 10-12 thousand for 90 square meters in the Soviet house at McDonald's.
In the foyer "Ladya" - like a grandma in the living room: beaded flowers and porcelain dogs Who protects
Cameras and sensors were installed on the roof, which are triggered if the entrance is not agreed
"Ladya" is guarded better than many jewelry stores - the territory is monitored by everywhere placed cameras, at the entrance to the entrance there are conservatories on duty, and during the holidays the guards patrol the territory.
All movements are monitored. For example, to skip builders, the list must be submitted to the concierge in advance and agreed with the management company. Guests may also have problems: “Before, my friends easily came to me, all the doors were open. Now everything has become more complicated. After the invasion of roofers, cameras were installed on the roof, keys on the doors and sensors that are triggered if the entrance to the terrace is not agreed. "
How to repair
"Ladya" is a monolithic brick building. In addition to the outer walls and columns, there is only one load-bearing wall, all communications pass through it. Thanks to this, in "Ladya" a free layout of apartments is possible, but unforeseen difficulties may arise when agreeing on redevelopments. In penthouses, for example, you can put a fireplace, but in order to be allowed, you have to sweat.
It takes seven circles of hell to approve the redevelopment
Alexander Dementyev
resident of the residential complex "Ladya"
If you are planning any redevelopment, you need to go through seven circles of hell to approve it. In my case, the redevelopment did not affect the load-bearing walls, but all the changes had to be coordinated with a separate design company, the chief engineer of Volgatransstroy and the management company. To attach something from the outside, you need a whole complex of special equipment.
Inferiority complex
ex-chief architect of Samara, deputy dean of the Graduate School of Urbanism, National Research University Higher School of Economics
From my point of view, the Ladya project was outdated even at the stage of creation. Architecturally, there is nothing innovative about the Ladya. In it, Luzhkov's spiers are combined with an attempt to cross Stalin's skyscrapers with the glass prisms of Shanghai, but in this performance they are significantly lacking in scale. This residential complex, as it were, should create the illusion that the city of Samara is developing in the same way as the modern megacities of Asia or the cities of Europe in the 1950s, when interesting high-rise buildings were created there. But in fact, the architecture of the Ladya does not correspond to either the western artistic trends of the first half of the 20th century, or to the modern eastern scale of construction. This residential complex is a product of a consciousness filled with an inferiority complex in relation to both the West and the East.
The Ladya is a product of the infill era. The complex arose at a time when no one took into account the number of vacant places in schools, kindergartens and clinics in the building area. It did not become a problem, because it did not appear in the city center, like a new candle on Vilonovskaya, but on an empty, degraded territory.

Professor, Head of the Department of Architecture and Design of SamGASU, member of the Union of Architects of Russia and the Union of Designers of Russia
The dimensions of the Ladya make it possible to speak about the architectural culture of the city of Samara as a whole and criticize the local practice of building high-rise buildings in the coastal zone. For commercial construction, these are, of course, the most obvious areas, since the territories in the depths of the city have their drawbacks: dilapidated buildings, unformed highways, crumbling infrastructure. But the construction of high-rise buildings in the coastal zone is bad from the point of view of the functioning of the city. In the event that new houses are built along highways, in public centers of the city, this will contribute to the development of Samara. Now the city does not have the socio-economic and cultural potential to build high-rise complexes along the coastline. This venture smacks of empty boasting.
The architectural solution of "Ladya" cannot be called successful. The three cylindrical buildings, still reinforced with cylinders at the top, look inorganic - like a man with two noses.
The residential complex "Ladya" consists of 2 houses, which are built on the highest point in the city of Kazan. Thus, it is immediately clear that the residents will have a stunning view of the city from the windows of the apartments.
The houses according to the project have one-, two- and three-room apartments. Residents can choose the layout they like according to their taste. The apartments will be warm and cozy, because the houses are equipped with multi-chamber double-glazed windows, which will retain heat, and the ventilated facade will reduce energy consumption.
Since the complex has a chess name, the theme of the buildings is appropriate. Firstly, the houses themselves look like a rook, tables for chess are installed in the courtyard of the residential complex, floor tiles in this style and forged fences will also take you into the world of this intellectual game.
Buyers have the opportunity to choose from 2 options for apartments: renovated or pre-finished. Thus, those who want to immediately call in and live can choose ready-made solutions and apartment styles from 4 provided: "New York", "Britanil", "Fusion" and "Montpassier".
And, of course, there is a play area for children in the courtyard of the complex, where they can play. The territory is landscaped and has a lot of greenery, which is very important in a big city.
Of course, the issue of security is also taken into account, the territory is under 24-hour video surveillance and security. A 2-level parking lot will be built for car owners.
Residential complex "Ladya" differs from all other buildings in the city. Firstly, on the territory of the complex it will be possible to enjoy the apple orchard, which is called "Newton's Alley". In addition, there is also an outdoor area with exercise equipment, so that sports fans can combine business with pleasure. Secondly, there is a special observation deck on the roof of the residential complex, which offers a wonderful view of the city. And thirdly, there is a telescope on the observation deck, with which it will be possible to look at the stars at night.
It should be noted that in addition to these advantages, the complex is located in a developed area, which means it has a good infrastructure. Nearby are schools, kindergartens, shopping centers and shops.
There were times when this roof seemed completely inaccessible. Rumors about the vigilant concierge, who lets into the entrance almost with passports, the courtyard, "armed" to the teeth with cameras that monitor your every move, and an ingenious sensor that immediately responds to the opening of the door to the roof. But times have passed, and now even this did not become an obstacle for us when we hit the roof of the highest residential building in Samara. There are a lot of photos from several winter hikes to Ladya under the cut.
Undoubtedly, during the day the views from this roof are the most picturesque in the daytime, because the Ladya is located near the Volga, and half of what you will see from it will be the embankment.
1. Volga and the Ladya monument below
4. At this time a lot of people walk on the Volga. Most of them are skiers. It is strange that the water in some places of the river does not freeze even at -15

climbing the spire:
35. In the meantime, the sun began to set and I had the opportunity to watch an awesome winter, frosty sunset.
37. While the sun was setting, I filmed the crows. Sometimes it even turned out to be quite successful in catching the bird in the frame.
38. The sun has almost set. The colors faded.
