ARKOS Building, Regional cultural heritage site in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia.
The ARKOS Building is a regional cultural heritage site in Moscow's Tverskoy District with a symmetrical facade dating from the 1920s. The structure features large window openings and geometric patterns that exemplify early Soviet modernism.
Architect Vladimir Mayat designed the building in 1927 during a period of intense urban transformation in Moscow. Its creation occurred when Soviet architects were developing new building styles that combined practical function with modern aesthetics.
The structure displays the clean lines and functional approach typical of Soviet modernist design from the 1920s. You can observe how the building's architectural language reflects the artistic ideals of early Soviet urban planning.
The building sits at Il'yanka Street 11/10 and is accessible by public transport via several nearby metro stations in the Tverskoy District. Its central location makes it easy to reach and well-connected for visitors.
The building stands amid Moscow's political centers, located directly near the State Duma and Federation Council. This proximity to government institutions makes the site historically and politically significant in the city's development.
