Following the success of the Galactika Sports and Cultural Complex, Mr. Vagit Alekperov from Lukoil approached us with an exciting new request.
Our brief: create a botanical garden and cultural center near Galactika, that would bring a tropical rainforest experience to Western Siberia while paying homage to the indigenous people of the surrounding region.
Exploring how to bring a botanical garden to life in this remote sub-arctic landscape, and the challenges of building in this environment, we knew we needed to develop something special and truly unique.
Given the advanced knowledge required to operate the rainforest gardens, an onsite educational center will be developed to facilitate this need. Recruitment will be simplified with Yaranga employees receiving the necessary qualifications and training in botany and related fields through classes and a teaching laboratory.
With a team of experts contributing, we are building Yaranga to exacting standards of engineering and innovative thinking. Replicating a hot and humid rainforest environment when outside temperatures reach between -30 and -40 C will be achieved by implementing the best digital irrigation systems and plant bed heating systems. With the likes of aquarium tanks recycling water to nourish rainforest canopies, we innovate and develop what is needed to ensure success.

Yaranga Botanical Gardens will contribute significantly to individual and broader community wellbeing, offering social and educational opportunities, as well as the chance for locals to explore exotic habitats alongside local cultures of the region. The development will also contribute to the local economy through job creation and tourism.
