Hypercube Skolkovo

Hypercube – The First Building within the Skolkovo Innovation Center

Hypercube is the first building constructed within the Skolkovo Innovation Center. It serves as a testing ground for the principles behind the Skolkovo Ecosystem — the foundation of the Innovation City philosophy.

Since its opening, Hypercube has represented the core of the Skolkovo project — a space where economic, engineering, IT, urban planning, and management models are developed and refined.

Principles 4E: The Foundation of the Hypercube Project

The Hypercube project is based on the 4E principles:

- Energy Efficiency
- Environmental Sustainability
- Ergonomics
- Economic Efficiency

Complete Self-Sufficiency

The building is connected only to the electrical grid, while all other systems operate autonomously. Hypercube features:

- an autonomous heating system
- water sourced from an artesian well, purified and reused for irrigation
