Located next to tram and trolleybus stops near Dubrovka Station, the vertically stacked off-set plates of Dominion Tower rise like a solid Tetris, square boxes piled up in neat – if seemingly precarious – unison. Inside, curved elements connect the fabric of the building; a central atrium rising through all levels to flood the hearth with natural light. The building itself has nine floors (seven of which are for offices and two basement levels) creating 21, 184 sq m of floor space. 'Balconies at each level project into the atrium, corresponding to the displacement of the outer envelope, ' explains the architectural practice. A series of staircases interconnect through this central space, making it look like a real life rendition of MC Escher's famous drawings. The off-set floor plates are balanced between the opposite sides of the building.
