Kekin House, Federal cultural heritage site near Gorky Street, Kazan, Russia.
Kekin House is a building in central Kazan that combines eclectic, Art Nouveau, and Gothic Revival elements. Its ornate decorations and upward-reaching lines create a distinctive architectural profile on the street.
The building was constructed in the early 2000s under architect Henrich Rush's direction. His design brought a modern interpretation of classical styles to this central location in Kazan.
The building reflects how Russian and Tatar architectural traditions merged with European influences that shaped Kazan's cityscape. You can see this blend in the ornate details and structural choices that define its appearance.
The building sits near Gorky Street and connects well to public transportation options. You can easily reach other cultural attractions in the surrounding area from this location.
The building weaves together three distinct architectural styles into a single composition, which was an unusual approach at the time. This deliberate mixing represented a fresh way of thinking about design when it was built.
