Dinamo building, Moscow, Constructivist architectural structure in Meshchansky District, Russia.

The Dinamo building is a Constructivist complex at the corner of Bolshaya Lubyanka and Furkasovsky Lane, built in 1928–1931 by architects Ivan Fomin and Arkady Langman. It consists of L-shaped administrative and residential wings joined by a 14-storey tower. The main facade on Bolshaya Lubyanka features massive paired columns without bases or capitals, and the upper tower is divided by balconies at the corners and by pillars supporting its first floor.

The building was constructed between 1928 and 1931 to designs by Ivan Fomin and Arkady Langman, as housing for the Dynamo sports society. The 1928–1929 plan envisioned a symmetrical ensemble closing the perspective of Kuznetsky Bridge, but only one of the two intended buildings was erected. In 1940 the housing and the Dynamo store moved to a new NKVD building on 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street; since the 2020s the building has housed the FSB Cultural Center.

The structure reflects a philosophy that valued practicality over ornament and shows how Soviet architects wanted to create new spaces for a modern society. The facades and interior spaces tell a story of a moment when Moscow was redefining its design identity.

The building occupies the corner of Bolshaya Lubyanka and Furkasovsky Lane, with its main facade facing Bolshaya Lubyanka. It belongs to the FSB and houses the Central Gastronom store of the Sedmoy Kontinent chain on the ground floor. The upper floors are not open to visitors, so the exterior is best viewed from the street.

The building housed organizations that played a central role in Soviet sports culture, and it retained this connection in its name. This athletic connection is less known today, but the facade still speaks to this specific historical function.
