Serafimovsky Residential Complex, Housing complex in Kirovsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Serafimovsky Residential Complex is a housing estate in the Kirovsky District with several buildings that stretch along Stachek Avenue between Belousova and Turbinaya Streets. The structures appear as a unified ensemble with geometric forms and broad facades.
The complex was constructed between 1925 and 1929 under the direction of three architects and marks the beginning of Soviet modernization in residential architecture. These buildings were considered progressive housing solutions at the time.
The residential complex displays the look of Soviet constructivist architecture from the 1920s, with clean lines and practical forms that reflect daily life for residents. The buildings along Stachek Avenue continue to shape the character of this district.
The site can be explored best from Stachek Avenue, where several entrances to individual buildings are accessible. The surrounding streets allow you to walk around the entire ensemble.
The ensemble was later recognized as a regional cultural site of Russia, though it is experienced as everyday living by residents. This recognition shows that ordinary residential forms from this era are now valued as important heritage.
