The Mariinsky Theatre

This week’s #buildingdoodle sketch is by Stephen Willmore, associate director with Assael Architecture. The sketch shows proposals for a mixed-use aparthotel and residential scheme integrated within a heritage building close to The Mariinsky Theatre in central Saint Petersburg, Russia. A series of impressive entrance spaces progress from the street across a courtyard garden, beneath a canopied entrance and through to a new atrium space beyond that is animated by grand accommodation staircases.
