Six-Building Mural of The Great Wave off Kanagawa

A new development in Moscow consists of nine huge buildings, all of which sport colorful murals you would recognize, particularly the six buildings in the front.

Called Etalon City, the development, which comprises 9 buildings, is located in the South Butovo region in south-west Moscow. While the rectangular buildings will feature the silhouettes of New York, Chicago, Barcelona, and Monaco, a decision was made to include Katsushika Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” on the 6 square-shaped towers that are situated along the highway and most visible. The total area of the facade is almost 60,000 square meters.

Sections of the familiar artwork wrap around the buildings, so that you will recognize the wave from different angles. The picture above is a render, but you can see more pictures of the real Etalon City at Colossal.
