More than 1,000 projects from around the world have been submitted for the 8th International Golden Trezzini Award 2025, including five from ACM Group. Two projects have already been nominated for the award, and the fate of the others will be decided in the coming days.

The residential buildings of the German Lutheran Church of St. Peter on Bolshaya and Malaya Konyushennaya Streets in St. Petersburg have been recognized as regional monuments by the Committee for State Control, Use, and Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments (KGIOP).

The buildings at 10 Bolshaya Konyushennaya Street and 5 Malaya Konyushennaya Street were originally constructed between 1792 and 1794, designed by architect Giacomo Ferrari in the style of Catherine the Great's classicism. The architectural appearance of the buildings was subsequently developed on the basis of the original design, preserving the classical elements of composition and decoration.

The buildings at 12 Bolshaya Konyushennaya Street and 7 Malaya Konyushennaya Street were originally built in 1859-1860 according to a design by architect Alexander Pelya and belong to the early eclectic style. Their subsequent renovations were carried out comprehensively and using the original architectural solutions.

Based on materials from the Committee for State Control, Use, and Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments of St. Petersburg.

On September 20, 1744, in Bergamo, in the Venetian Republic, a great architect, draftsman, watercolorist, and veduta painter, perhaps the most prolific representative of Palladianism in Russian architecture, and honorary member of the Imperial Academy of Arts, Giacomo Antonio Domenico Quarenghi.

The English Palace in Peterhof, the Academy of Sciences building, the Hermitage Theater, the concert hall in Tsarskoye Selo, the Yusupov Palace on Sadovaya Street, the Small Gostiny Dvor, the Maltese Chapel, and many other buildings in St. Petersburg were built according to the designs of this great architect.

Today, in 1719, on the initiative of Emperor Peter I, construction began on New Holland Island with the digging of the Kryukov and Admiralty Canals.

Twenty-five years ago, together with Norman Foster's team, ACM prepared a concept for adapting the island's buildings to new functions and carried out large-scale comprehensive scientific research on all buildings.

The 10th Parliamentary Forum “Historical and Cultural Heritage of Russia” has concluded in Veliky Novgorod. The event brought together representatives of the government, regions, and business to develop solutions for the preservation of architectural monuments.

It should be noted that by 2030, the program plans to restore 1,000 historical sites throughout Russia.

ACM Group presented information on the restoration work currently being carried out by the company.

On October 3, the State Institute of Art Studies will host a presentation of the illustrated catalog “Monuments of Church Architecture in the Arkhangelsk Region from the 16th to the Early 20th Centuries: The City of Kargopol and the Kargopol District.”

On the eve of the revolution, there were more than 100 churches, over 250 chapels, and four monasteries here. Most of them have now been lost. To date, there has not been a single scientific study covering all monuments of church architecture in the Kargopol District, including those that have been lost.

After 12 years of restoration, the Egyptian Pavilion has reopened in the Ostankino Palace. Unlike other interiors of the palace, which have been changed and rebuilt many times, the Egyptian Pavilion, built according to the design of architect V. Brenna in 1795, has remained virtually unchanged. It used to be a formal dining room and a small stage for concerts and small performances. Now it hosts the exhibition “Visiting Count Sheremetev,” which shows the life of the upper nobility in the 18th century. A special place in the interior is occupied by an antique sculpture of Hygieia from the 2nd century.

During the clearing of the territory of the Vovnushki Tower Complex in mountainous Ingushetia, a unique stone was discovered with an old inscription perfectly preserved.

This is what the metal parts of the gate look like, which are being restored as part of the ACM Group project. The gate to Priory Park should be restored and installed by the end of the year.

ACM Group continues its work to identify unregistered historical buildings in the mountainous region of Ingushetia and add them to the Unified Electronic Database of Monuments in Ingushetia, which is being created by the company with the support of the SAFMAR Charitable Foundation. Buildings that have the characteristics of cultural heritage sites must also be entered into the Register of Cultural Heritage Sites of Ingushetia for their legal and actual protection.

The ACM Group team has completed its work on studying and identifying buildings and steles at the Salgi Tower Complex. The existing Register contains 20 cultural heritage sites, including towers and farm buildings. ACM Group specialists have identified 88 more historical monuments at Salgi that have the characteristics of cultural heritage sites, including unique towers and steles.

ACM Group has sent 88 applications to the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of Ingushetia to include the identified sites in the Register of newly identified cultural heritage sites of Ingushetia. We hope that within 90 working days, another 88 objects will legally become identified cultural heritage sites of the Russian Federation and take their rightful place among other unique monuments of the country. ACM Group is ready to provide all additional assistance necessary to legally protect the unique buildings and steles of the Salgi Tower Complex.

Construction continues on a new cottage community in the village of Syargi in the Leningrad Region, based on a design by ACM Group. Ten different individual cottages will be located in a picturesque setting with complete infrastructure.
