Major modernisation
Tatneft Tower / 2019–2020
The work in focus
Major modernisation
Major modernisation changes how an existing building is expressed and used. The relationship between the retained building and its new architectural form gives the transformation its character. Tatneft Tower is presented through OSAN’s complete modernisation delivery as a subcontractor.
During 2019–2020, OSAN undertook the complete major modernisation of Tatneft Tower as a subcontractor. The OSAN budget associated with its scope is USD 381 million.

The logic of transformation.
Existing and proposed
Modernisation connects an existing condition with a proposed architectural expression. Understanding what is retained and what changes establishes the logic of the intervention, from the building’s overall form to the places where old and new meet.

Transformation interfaces
New envelopes, revised spaces and altered circulation create relationships with retained construction. These meeting points require the transformation to be read as a connected whole, preserving clarity between the original building and the work introduced by the renewal.
A sequence of change
Renewal is a staged construction process. The order of removal, adaptation and new work influences how the project can be organised. The extent of the appointment determines whether the work concerns a complete modernisation or a particular part of a building.
