Basseynaya Community of Apartment Owners buildings
Basseynaya Community of Apartment Owners buildings, Art Nouveau building complex in central Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Basseynaya buildings occupy multiple addresses along Nekrasova Street, Fontannaya Street, and Grechesky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg, forming a connected residential complex with unified design principles. The structures display Art Nouveau features including curved lines, decorative elements, and quality materials throughout their facades.
The complex was built between 1912 and 1917 under four prominent architects including Ernest-Friedrich Wirrich and Nikolai Vasilyev during a period of intensive urban development in Saint Petersburg. The project represents a significant moment when modern housing concepts and collective ownership models were being introduced to the city.
The complex demonstrates how affluent residents in the early 1900s chose to live together through an apartment owners association, a forward-thinking residential model of its time. The Art Nouveau ornaments on the facades reflect the taste and modernity that appealed to the city's wealthier population.
The complex is easy to reach as it sits in a central district with several public transportation stops nearby and can be accessed from three different streets. The buildings remain in residential use today, so it is best to view the exterior details from the street.
Each section of the complex displays different interpretations of Art Nouveau elements because the multiple architects each brought their own approach to the design. Walking around the buildings reveals this interesting visual variety while maintaining overall design harmony.
