ArchDaily, one of the world’s leading platforms for architecture and design, has featured Amanoo in its “This Week in Architecture” weekly review — a low-density residential district in Yerevan developed by Khakhamyan Heritage.
The projects featured in the review are brought together around a broader idea of value, presenting architectural approaches that move beyond established conventions. In this context, Amanoo is presented as a project rooted in biomimetic architecture, with the landscape considered a priority within the design approach.
One of Amanoo’s distinctive features is its rethinking of the conventional sequence of development. On a once-degraded site, landscape restoration preceded construction: 165,000 m³ of construction waste was removed from the site, while landscaping and the formation of the landscape were treated as fundamental elements of the masterplan.
More than 75% of Amanoo’s 11-hectare site is dedicated to green areas. The masterplan is designed for phased development, with full completion planned for 2036, while preserving the principles of low-density development and harmonious integration with nature at the heart of the project.
ArchDaily’s feature places Amanoo within a broader architectural dialogue about how contemporary development can rethink its relationship with landscape, the surrounding environment, and the future of the city.
For Amanoo, being featured on an international architectural platform also creates an opportunity to present the ideas and design approaches of contemporary Armenian architecture to a wider professional audience.
