Basevitch house, Art Nouveau residential building on Bolshaia Pushkarskaya Street, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Basevitch House is a residential building on Bolshaia Pushkarskaya Street with organic forms and asymmetrical patterns that define Art Nouveau design. Its facade features curved lines, plant-inspired ornaments, and a thoughtful arrangement of windows and doorways.
The building was designed in the early 1900s when Art Nouveau, called Modern style locally, was flourishing in Saint Petersburg. Architect Alexey Zazerskiy created this residence during a brief period when the movement was at its height before fading away.
The building blends Northern European design traditions with Russian elements, showing how Saint Petersburg brought together influences from different regions. You can see this mixing in the decorative details and the way the front facade is shaped.
The building sits on Bolshaia Pushkarskaya Street and is easy to reach by public transportation. You can view the exterior facade at any time without needing special permission.
The window arrangements and entrance portal show specific technical solutions that set it apart from other Art Nouveau buildings. These details allowed the architect to bring more light into the spaces while protecting the privacy of residents.
