The Horseshoe House is a residential building on Gromoboya Street with a characteristic curved form that resembles a horseshoe. The structure follows constructivist principles with geometric shapes that appear both functional and aesthetic.
The building was created in 1933 under architect A.I. Panov's direction during a time when Ivanovo was growing rapidly and developing industrially. This period was marked by new ideas about modern housing and urban planning.
The building shows how architects wanted to combine everyday living with artistic design through clear forms and practical solutions. Inside and outside work as a single unit that supports the daily life of residents.
The building is located in central Ivanovo and is easy to reach on foot when moving through the area. It is an active residential building, so visitors should be respectful and admire only the exterior.
The building is part of a larger area that includes residential structures from the 1930s to 1950s and represents a complete architectural collection from that era. This is rare because many neighborhoods from that time were altered or destroyed over the years.
