Mixed-use development in the centre of Astana - part of the Expo 2017 Scheme, including Residential, Commercial, Community and Recreational facilities aiming to achieve the LEED Certification. The original Green Block Concept fundamentally sets out to establish a low-energy design by recognising the climatic conditions of Astana, particularly the prevailing wind, and to use passive means to address them. The Green Block Grid serves to position buildings in a manner that provides a denser spacing to South West to break the harsh prevailing winter wind. The street pattern is set such to prevent direct winds.
