Bureau
We have formed APEX because we were sure we could change the life of the city and its population for the better and promote major projects retaining the feeling and quality in details. To achieve these goals, we put together a team of highly skilled and ambitious professionals with tens of years’ experience of work in the industry at different stages — from concept to construction. We use the latest technologies to achieve a high level of efficiency, precision and thoroughness of solutions.
Today, we can offer design solutions meeting the highest quality standards to our clients and partners. To that end, we put together a reliable and efficient team and revised the approaches to project management. We seek to implement the brand-new tools and enhance our skills constantly. We design the future and set new quality and living standards.

ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN MILIEU
The key field of our work is architecture and urban milieu creation. It is not only buildings that we design and create, but also the urban environment. Our work embraces absolutely different scopes and facilities. The completed and current projects include residential, retail, public and educational facilities as well as industrial renovation projects. We are involved in work at all the project stages — from the very first sketch to construction completion.
MASTER PLAN
A fundamental (solid) approach to work is the basis for any high-quality project. The Master Plan Division creates and plans a project’s interaction with the general urban milieu by integrating the building into the city infrastructure and linking the project with utility systems and traffic arteries. For a project to be successfully implemented, account should be taken of its interrelation with the planned area development and growth parameters of social, transport and engineering support services. It is a complex process intended to build a common urban milieu and organic space.
DESIGN SOLUTIONS APEX
Engineering Structures Division has extensive experience in implementing projects, including buildings and structures of highly hazardous, sophisticated and unique facilities. Using its own resources, the Division handles all the sections ranging from geotechnical tasks to long span metal structures. The Division employs 85 staff members working in compliance with the standard common for the Company. BIM technologies are applied at all the project stages (in particular, when releasing detailed drawings for reinforced concrete and metal structures sections) to avoid conflicts and inaccuracies.
UTILITY SYSTEMS
We offer a package of services of designing utility systems. Our professional staff members are capable of developing projects of any purpose and complexity. Comprehensive design of all sections in a common environment (Revit) allows the user to develop 3D utility system models quickly and precisely and to handle all the issues of utilities crossing building structures as early as the design stage. BIM technologies used in developing engineering sections allow the designers to compile more accurate specifications, avoid extra costs and contingencies related to system installation and modify design solutions promptly.
VISUALISATION 3D visualisation is part of our creative process, just as project documentation. 3D models and images, which become available due to visualisation, are central in developing and constructing projects. This is a very efficient tool to test and find architectural solutions not only for a building in general, but also for its elements. The use of UnrealEngine4 representing a new area in this field opens up a totally new range of opportunities in real-life interaction with the architecture we create.
GENERAL DESIGN PROCESS
As the General Designer, we consolidate the entire design process. This approach provides a common environment, i. e. all project sections are developed in a common information field to maintain a stable level of quality at all the stages — from devising conceptual solutions to preparing the complete package of detailed documentation. The General Designer manages the entire process, providing administrative support, timeframe and cost management. APEX employs a staff of professionals who can fully prepare a project for submission to expert review (construction method statement, environmental protection, etc.) without having to resort to subcontracting.
SITE POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT
Each project that “grows” in the city becomes its part, and it is a project’s location that determines how profitable, functional and, finally, necessary it is. We analyse the urban development context and assess the influence of and demand for a future project. Such analysis helps to make the best use of the development site, identify the most suitable massing for the planned building functional, and assess the recommended and maximum area usability.
CONCEPT ADAPTATION
While monitoring the work of foreign architects creating projects in Russia, we join the work from the very beginning and collaborate with the concept team at all the stages of the project implementation, considering urban, cultural, economic and legislative contexts. Participation in negotiations and meetings, translation and adaptation of documents — all these activities are undertaken to avoid misunderstanding that may result in financial and time losses in a project. Such a method of project adaptation wherein two teams (foreign and local) are engaged is known as collaboration.
