Gostorg Building, Constructivist building in Krasnoselsky District, Russia

The Gostorg Building features six symmetrical blocks with distinct heights, geometric forms, and exposed structural framework on its exterior walls.

Soviet architect Boris Velikovsky designed this administrative structure in 1925 for the State Trade Organization during a period of office space shortage.

This building introduced the first paternoster elevators in the Soviet Union, enabling continuous vertical circulation between floors without stopping.
