Burov's house, Art Deco building on Leningradsky Avenue in Moscow, Russia
Description
Burov's house is an Art Deco building on Leningradsky Avenue in Moscow's Begovoy District. The structure has a square footprint with decorative elements on its facade and displays the characteristic features of block-based construction in its exterior walls.
History
The house was built in 1936 and pioneered the use of prefabricated blocks in Moscow. This construction method set new standards for urban development and influenced subsequent residential projects.
Culture
The facade displays geometric patterns that were typical of 1930s Soviet modernism. This design reflects the artistic ideals that architects pursued when creating residential buildings for ordinary people.
Practical
The building sits at the corner of Begovaya Street and Leningradsky Avenue and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors can explore the architecture from outside, since it remains an active residential building.
Did you know?
The house employed a two-row block cutting method when it was completed, which later became the standard for Moscow's residential construction. This innovative technique enabled faster and more cost-effective building at large scale.
