Gosstrakh House on Malaya Bronnaya

The Gosstrakh House features geometric forms, large windows, and minimalist design elements characteristic of early twentieth-century Soviet architectural principles.

Built in 1927 under architect Moisei Ginzburg's direction, the structure initially housed employees of the USSR State Insurance organization during Moscow's urban development.

The building represents a period when Soviet architecture merged social housing concepts with modern design principles to create new living spaces.

The five-story structure contains multiple two, three, and four-room apartments, with the top floor dedicated to shared accommodation spaces.

The building includes a specialized rooftop area with cork insulation and cast-iron drainage systems, originally designed as a communal relaxation space.
