House of Projects, Constructivist building at Freedom Square, Kharkiv, Ukraine
The House of Projects features a central 14-story block connected to side sections through narrow glass passages that allow natural light penetration throughout the structure.
The building, designed by architect Sergei Serafimov and completed in 1933, underwent substantial damage during World War II before its transfer to Kharkiv University.
The structure represents a transition period in Soviet architecture, combining elements of Constructivism with the emerging Stalinist Empire style of the 1930s.
The House of Projects currently serves as part of Karazin Kharkiv National University, housing administrative offices and educational facilities accessible from Freedom Square.
Soviet leader Joseph Stalin personally reviewed the building's design plans, showing particular interest in its transparent layout, which influenced its final architectural form.
