Kauchuk Factory Club

The Kauchuk Factory Club features a quarter-cylinder structure with an 800-seat theatre hall and two balcony levels at the intersection of Devichye Pole park.

The building emerged in 1929 as part of a nationwide program to establish modern entertainment venues, replacing traditional religious gatherings in post-revolutionary Russia.

The structure represents the architectural vision of Konstantin Melnikov, who designed the space to attract workers naturally rather than through obligation or rigid rules.

The building contains exterior stairs that function as fire escapes connected to the second floor lobby, while the main entrance leads to the central performance area.

The circular form of the structure creates a natural flow toward the center, with concrete columns and beams maintaining the facade's geometric precision.
