Future Jewish Community Center of Vladivostok

So here's the unofficial plan.

The front part of the building is the original synagogue, and as a historic building, has to stay the way it was originally built. Notice the luchos, (tablets), in the front, which we recently uncovered.At the top, on the sides, you can see metal Stars of David. These stars were there originally, and were knocked out when the synagogue was seized. The little shack-looking thing on the right does not belong to us. We believe that it was once the rabbi's house, and was then given to the director of the factory, whose grandson now lives in it. It's pretty tiny, and while we'd love to own it, he wants a ridiculous amount of money for it, which he is not getting from us. There used to be more windows at the bottom of the synagogue, and then the street was built up and they were covered. Today, if you look, you can see evidence of at least 5 windows. On the side of the building, where the main entrance is, there was another window below the top left one, but the stairs cover it.

The front of the building will be the synagogue, and the back, which was added by the factory, and is not historic, will be the rest of the center. The entire space is something like 900 meters. This plan is for 4 stories in the back, in addition to a basement and roof. The area is pretty small though, and then there are annoying things like stairs and bathrooms that get in the way.

The star of David on the top of the building will light up at night. Around the rim of the roof, there will be a metal fence, matching the coverings on the windows. The architect had an idea for the windows in the top to number 8, and the star would be the 9th, like a menorah, but it didn't fit.

This is still a work in progress, so many changes will be made before the final version.
