The resort and recreational cluster project in Kislovodsk was developed to create a unique space for recuperation, leisure, and wellness, combining the region's natural wealth and historical heritage with modern, comfortable amenities for guests.

The cluster is situated in an ecologically pristine area, in close proximity to forests, mountain ranges, mineral springs, and historical monuments. The project takes into account the natural value of the site, a factor reflected in the landscape design and architectural concept.

A space where guests can fully recharge, relax, and reset while enjoying natural beauty and tranquility. The grounds will serve as a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life, offering a retreat where guests can find their own inner peace.

Reset Route 

Active leisure and wellness practices. This area provides facilities for physical activity and bodily recovery through therapeutic treatments.

Outdoor areas: spaces for meditation and yoga with nature views. Meditative paths: winding trails through gardens and wooded areas, designed for meditative walks. Pavilions and gazebos: small, secluded spots for relaxation situated along the paths.

recovery Route 

A place for rest and relaxation.
This area is designed to fully restore guests' emotional well-being.

The tea house embodies a unique blend of culture and nature. Inspired by Chinese architecture, it serves as a reminder that these lands were once part of the Great Silk Road, the route along which renowned teas were transported from China. A garden featuring plants native to the mountains of the Stavropol region surrounds the house, highlighting its connection to the local landscape. The tea house has become a symbol of travel and the exchange of traditions, inviting guests to immerse themselves in an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility while rejuvenating their spirits in communion with nature and history.

An archaeological-themed playground takes young explorers on a fascinating journey through the history of the Stavropol region. The centerpiece is a play structure shaped like a mountain—symbolizing the majestic Mount Elbrus—accompanied by a sandbox where children can "unearth" ancient fossils, just like real archaeologists. This concept both entertains and educates, sparking an interest in the region's nature and past while offering an outdoor adventure filled with exploration and discovery.

HARMONY Route 

The "Harmony" zone aims to create an environment that fosters inner balance and tranquility, while enhancing the emotional and mental well-being of guests. The focus will be on natural elements, cultural activities, and social spaces that promote relaxation and spiritual enrichment.

A minimalist garden featuring elements of Zen gardens, including stone arrangements, bridges, and small ponds. Spaces for workshops on ceramics, wood carving, embroidery, and other traditional crafts.

The cluster’s core concept is the creation of a "place of power" where every guest can find a balance between their physical and emotional states.

Creating conditions for relieving stress and accumulated tension, and for a complete reset of body and mind. Ensuring full physical recovery and improved health through active and passive wellness treatments. Fostering inner harmony and balance, and enhancing emotional and mental well-being.
