Gosplan garage, Regional cultural heritage site in Lefortovo District, Russia.

The Gosplan Garage is a 1936 building on Aviamotornaya Street designed by Konstantin Melnikov with V. I. Kurochkin. Its street facade is dominated by a large circular window with a massive frame and vertical lines, while the four-storey wing has voluminous fluted columns. The overall composition combines a rectangle, a triangle and a circle, and the round window with the low roof is meant to evoke a car's headlamp and fender.

Built in 1936, the garage was the last building completed by Konstantin Melnikov. He designed only the facade treatment, while the working drawings were produced by the Mossovet Architectural Project Office No. 7 under V. I. Kurochkin. From 1955 to the late 1990s it housed Moscow's 8th taxi fleet, and in 1990 it was granted regional cultural heritage status.

Melnikov designed the garage so that its round window and low roof evoke a car's headlamp and fender, while the white vertical lines of the facade suggest a radiator grille. He called the off-centre "eye" with its narrow pipe a "formalist" approach to the world of beauty.

Located at Aviamotornaya Street 63, this site is reachable by several public transportation options in the Lefortovo District. You can easily explore the neighborhood by metro or bus to view the architecture from the street.

Melnikov designed only the facade decoration; the working drawings came from the Mossovet Architectural Project Office No. 7 under V. I. Kurochkin. A tall factory chimney once stood to the right of the round window, tying the composition together, but it has not survived.
