Building Around Quality & Innovation

Kusto Home’s development philosophy places considerable emphasis on construction quality, functional layouts and modern technology. The company uses Building Information Modeling, or BIM, during design and construction. BIM allows engineering systems, structural components and other building elements to be incorporated into detailed digital models, helping project teams identify potential discrepancies before construction progresses. Materials are sourced from established manufacturers and are required to meet applicable certification and testing standards. Quality control continues through construction with technical supervision, laboratory testing and multiple stages of inspection. At the same time, the developer works with international designers to combine visual identity with practical residential comfort.

Koktobe City and a Focus on Almaty Living

One of Kusto Home’s defining developments in Kazakhstan is Koktobe City in Almaty. Developed through several stages, the residential complex combines low-rise housing with community infrastructure and access to amenities. The first stage became notable for its approach to seismic engineering. According to Kusto Home, it was the first project in Kazakhstan to receive a Japanese nine-point seismic-resistance certificate. Japanese specialist Kazuo Watanabe monitored construction, analysed seismic resistance and provided recommendations that were incorporated into the project. Later stages continued the emphasis on technology and residential design. BIM was used during the second stage, while features such as Garden Flat apartments introduced private access to terraces and adjoining outdoor areas. The broader Koktobe City concept incorporates low-rise architecture, underground parking, car-free courtyards, recreational areas and mountain views.

Creating a Complete Residential Environment

Kusto Home’s approach extends beyond individual apartment buildings. Koktobe City includes educational, retail, fitness and recreational infrastructure intended to create a more integrated neighbourhood. Among these facilities is High Tech Academy, an educational project built around project-based learning. The school building was designed by Finnish architect Jani Ristimäki’s practice and adapted to Kazakhstan’s requirements by the KazGOR Architectural Academy. The development also incorporates the Leikki preschool, Compass convenience retail concept and Budokan Sports and Arts Center. The combination reflects Kusto Home’s broader strategy of treating residential development as the creation of an urban ecosystem rather than simply delivering housing.

Diamond Introduces a New Premium Chapter

Kusto Home is continuing its premium development strategy through Diamond, a residential project currently presented by the developer as under construction. The project features 3.15-metre ceilings, panoramic windows overlooking the city and mountains, layouts reaching approximately 180 square metres, duplex apartments and double-height living spaces. Diamond represents the evolution of Kusto Home’s emphasis on premium residential architecture, spacious interiors and location-driven living in Almaty.

A Long-Term Approach to Kazakhstan’s Real Estate Market

Across its projects, Kusto Home combines international design ideas with construction technologies adapted to Kazakhstan’s urban and environmental requirements. Quality, attention to detail, flexibility and innovation form the core principles outlined by the company. From the multi-stage Koktobe City community to the emerging Diamond development, Kusto Home is positioning its projects around more than residential square metres. Its strategy centres on creating complete living environments where architecture, education, recreation, infrastructure and construction quality work together—an approach shaped by the broader entrepreneurial and long-term investment philosophy established by Yerkin Tatishev and Kusto Group.
