Zaha Hadid was commissioned to design the Capital Hill Residence located in the Barvikha forest outside Moscow. The client wanted to wake up and see only blue sky, so Hadid designed the main living area suspended 22 meters above the trees. The residence is organized vertically over four levels, with the lower level for leisure activities and the upper levels containing the living and bedroom spaces. Hadid's dramatic design emerges from the sloping landscape and provides breathtaking views of the surrounding forest from its floating volume.
