Smolensk Lakeland National Park is one of the largest nature conservation areas in Central Russia.
The park required an update to its tourist zones, as well as the establishment of a consistent and recognisable style that would blend in with the natural surroundings.
In collaboration with the “Zapovednoe Posolstvo” charitable foundation, we have developed a comprehensive and convenient compendium of standard equipment. It meets the requirements for improving public spaces and creates a consistent visual identity for the area.
Developed the design and typology of small architectural forms for various areas and functions of the park.
Determined the structure of the coverings and flooring usage.
Provided recommendations on materials and manufacturing technologies, including dimensional drawings.
The park territory is divided into zones, each maintained by a member of staff. All equipment is manufactured by the employees themselves.
We identified the most in-demand types of structures and developed a catalogue of small architectural forms in a consistent style.
The information media are designed according to a modular principle: their configuration varies depending on the installation location. They are placed at the entrances of themed routes, as well as at points where navigation or reference information is needed.
Camping equipment enables the setup of rentable sites and enhances the comfort of stays in the park. Some components were adapted and improved based on existing solutions.
All structures are made of wood. Simple and functional shapes are decorated with wooden slats, evoking the image of tree branches.
Detailed drawings have been prepared for each small architectural form, along with guidelines for manufacturing, placement, and compatibility with other elements. All solutions take into account operational specifics and can be implemented within a limited budget while maintaining high quality and safety standards.
The landscaping guidelines allow park staff to independently create comfortable and visually cohesive tourist zones.
