Pokrovka Street 20, Postconstructivist apartment building in Moscow, Russia.
The eight-story residential structure at Pokrovka Street 20 features symmetrical facades, square columns, and simplified neoclassical elements in its architectural composition.
Architect L. Z. Cherikover designed this building during the transitional period between Constructivism and Stalinist architecture, with construction completed in 1936.
The building represents the shift in Soviet architectural preferences from experimental designs to more traditional forms following the Palace of Soviets competition.
The residential complex maintains its original function with apartments distributed across multiple floors, connected by internal staircases and common areas.
The structure incorporates distinct architectural elements that mark the brief Postconstructivist period, including geometric shapes without traditional ornamental details.
