Trezzini house, Cultural heritage building in Vasileostrovsky District, Russia.
The Trezzini house is a two-story brick building located on Universitetskaya Naberezhnaya with classical facade elements that define early Saint Petersburg urban development. The construction combines strict geometric forms with decorative details that structure the exterior appearance.
The building was constructed between 1726 and 1734 under the direction of Domenico Trezzini, an Italian architect who shaped the early building style of the city. His work there established the foundation for a network of buildings that would define the city's character for decades to come.
The house shows how Italian design principles were adapted to fit the demands of the northern climate. The rooms and their layout reflect how people worked and lived during that time.
The house is located on Universitetskaya Naberezhnaya in an area that is easily accessible by public transportation. The location sits near other historical sites and museums, making it possible to explore multiple places during a single visit.
The house served not only as a residence but also as a workshop and training center where aspiring craftspeople and architects developed their skills. This dual function makes it a testament to how work and learning intertwined in the 18th century.
