Malishev Engineers project featuring design and construction of 11 steel and glass “crystals”  scattered along Valikhanova street in Omsk  (including big fountain shown above, a larger design intended as a local ‘Arc de Triomphe’) has been shortlisted for this year’s Structural Awards, hosted by Institution of Structural Engineers.

small practices

Judge’s comment:

“The judges were very impressed by this collection of small projects for Omsk that combine to make an outstanding collection of work. This clearly required a great deal of concerted effort by a relatively small practice. The structural engineering design is imaginative and the results are very elegant. This is a great example of the impact that a small practice can have in town or city – it is not the scale of project that counts but the scale of ambition and imagination.”

The winners and commended projects will be announced at The Structural Awards ceremony, taking place on the Friday 13th November 2015 at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London, EC1Y 4SD.

Dear friends/colleagues,

It feels like a big day today. The election results are loud and clear and, of course, we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, which marked new beginnings in Europe and elsewhere in the world.

On that note, I would like to announce that following the retirement of Philip Wilson from the partnership, I am taking over the firm, which will now be trading under the name of Malishev Engineers and will continue to focus on high quality, creative engineering in the UK and abroad.

It has been 11 interesting and productive years at MWE. Here is a brief run through of 11 selected projects which we can be proud of:

1. Teesdale-Goldfinger house (IstructE shortlisted) 2. O2 Peninsula 3. Pompano park, Florida USA, 4. 150 Cheapside glass bridge(Shortlist at World Architecture Festival, Barcelona), 5. Woodchester house (Riba awards), 6. Kingsley Place (Riba awards shortlist), 7. Tesco Gerrards Cross, 8. Colchester Art Centre facades 9. Daman bldg main entrance, 10. Mariinsky2 feature stairs (IstructE award winner) 11. Omsk 300 steel&glass features.

11 best projects

But it’s time to move on and here is a snap shot of our work in progress:

Right now we are working on a series of interesting projects, one of which is atrium roof and atrium glazing as well as the main entrance feature for the office building in Kiev, in collaboration with Oliver HOUCHELL STUDIO architects. The building is packed with interesting features one of which  would be first use of structural glass beams in Ukraine – we call it light revolution!
