Mindovsky House, Art Nouveau mansion in Arbat district, Moscow, Russia

Mindovsky House is an Art Nouveau residential building located at 44 Povarskaya Street in the Arbat district. The structure features ornate decorative details on its exterior and carefully composed interior spaces with artistic embellishments.

Architect Lev Kekushev designed this residential structure in 1903 when Moscow was expanding its architectural landscape. Since 1973 it has served as the New Zealand diplomatic mission, undergoing major renovation work between 2015 and 2023.

The house was built in 1903 for Ivan Mindovsky as part of an elite residential quarter commissioned by the Jakob Rekk company, on the corner of Povarskaya Street and Skaryatinsky Lane. Since 1973 it has housed New Zealand's diplomatic mission, which moved out to Prechistenskaya Naberezhnaya 3 during the 2015-2023 renovation.

The house stands at the corner of Povarskaya Street and Skaryatinsky Lane, in the Arbat district. The embassy entrance is on Povarskaya, 44; the building is a working diplomatic mission, so visits are limited to the exterior seen from the street. The nearest metro stations are Arbatskaya and Barrikadnaya.

The house was built in 1903 by the Moscow Trading-and-Construction Joint Stock Company for the mansion quarter commissioned by Jakob Reck's company, with Lev Kekushev as architect. The New Zealand embassy moved in only in 1973, after seven decades of residential use.
