Our brand new Orthodox spiritual and cultural center in Paris's 7th arrondissement, a gift from Russia.

Controversial because of the mean political environment, still much appreciated over here from a simpe architectural standpoint. It really adds quality to the surroundings.
This is a lovely understated little set of modern buildings in finest materials exclusively. The golden cupolas are the only post-modern touch to it, bringing some cool exotic, Eastern touch and aesthetics, something that we've missed.
We all like it here.

The 7th arrondissement is Paris's very diplomatic district. That's where the main cluster of embassies is...
