Gosstrakh House on Malaya Bronnaya
Gosstrakh House on Malaya Bronnaya, Constructivist residential building in Presnensky District, Russia
Description
The Gosstrakh House on Malaya Bronnaya is a five-story residential building in the constructivist style with clean geometric forms and large-scale windows. The structure contains apartments of various sizes, from two to four rooms, and uses flat roof areas for additional communal functions.
History
The building was designed in 1927 by architect Moisei Ginzburg and was originally intended to house employees of the Soviet State Insurance organization. It was built during a period of major urban reconstruction in Moscow that introduced new housing concepts for the growing population.
Culture
The building shows how Soviet architects wanted to create new housing for workers by combining modern forms with communal thinking. You can still see today how the rooms are generously laid out and how the large windows fill the interior with light.
Practical
The building is still inhabited today and can be viewed from outside to study its constructivist architecture. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when the light clearly shows the geometric facades and large windows.
Did you know?
The roof zone of the building was equipped as a communal space with cork insulation and cast-iron drainage systems that originally served as a relaxation area. This roof section shows how Soviet architects thought through even functional elements with aesthetic care.
