OSTROV

Ostrov Festival, June 2018

Ostrov is an electronic music festival that had been happening for five years on a picturesque island, and in its sixth year took an experimental route and moved to the coast. Our mission was architectural planning and object locating: the entrance zone, food court, PORT stage, MAIN stage, WC zone. When the festival’s map and logistics were done, we proceeded to design the main points and these dance floors.

The Main Stage

We believe there are two main rules for setting a venue at a coastline, these are face-to-sun arrangement and wind load calculation. So the main stage was some kind of a rock inside the whole landscape, made of scaffold and facade mesh.

PORT Stage

PORT Stage. Materials: wood, polycarbonate.

PORT stage looks like Noah’s Ark and was made of wood. The main goal was to make design itself is an art object, depending on the position of the light, changing its outlines. Some kind of a play with light and shadow.

The mood of the food court area is slightly similar to the Mongolian yurt – low planting and carpets. A separate place on a hill, from where a breathtaking view of the sea opens.

Also there are several thematic zones, which are “Buddhist’s”, port and hippie spot. There is an altar in the Buddhist zone, which is guarded by two lions and a toad.

The port pier is a grid, buoys, the smell of fish, mollusks blown by monsoons and trade winds.

The hippie’s spot is located under a sprawling tree.
