Capital Towers are three residential skyscrapers on Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, opposite Moscow City.

Our team carried out premium apartment finishing and installed smart home systems in the complex, from screed to final finishes, fit-out and set-up.

- Walls: plasterboard partitions and linings, plaster, painting, large-format porcelain.
- Ceilings: suspended plasterboard ceilings with recesses for curtains and lighting.
- Flush-mounted doors and concealed access hatches.
- Smart home systems: lighting, curtain and climate control, leak protection.
- Plumbing and electrics.

- Final finishes. Large-format porcelain, painting, engineered boards and skirting.
- Finishing touches. Flush-mounted doors, sanitary ware, luminaires and wiring devices.
- The home comes alive. We set up the smart home scenes for lighting, curtains and climate.
What made the project special
- A skyscraper. Work at height in a residential tower: access to the floors by key card, hidden works accepted by the client.
- Large format. Porcelain slabs up to 1200×2780 mm need a perfectly flat base and careful delivery to the floor.
- Concealed details. Doors on concealed hinges, hidden hatches, curtain recesses with a bulkhead for the sprinklers.
