Demonstrative houses for workers at Rusakovskaya street

The residential buildings at Rusakovskaya street display geometric forms with straight lines, flat roofs, and large rectangular windows across multiple floors.

Built in 1925 by architect Boris Iofan, these houses represented a new approach to worker accommodation during the early years of the Soviet Union.

The buildings embody the constructivist movement's principles of combining social purpose with architectural design to create functional living spaces for workers.

Located near public transportation stations, the complex contains multiple buildings numbered from 2 to 18A, serving both residential and administrative functions.

The structures feature innovative communal spaces and facilities that were incorporated into the original design to foster interaction between residents.
