Unusual residential buildings of the city

Unusual residential buildings of the city

There is no doubt that the capital of the Russian Federation, Moscow, has always attracted residents and guests of the city with its size, ancient architecture, which essentially borders on modern projects to improve the capital, as well as a very large and eventful history. All this took place in Moscow over the years, which influenced many points related to the capital: the place of residence of residents, prominent places and the architecture of the city in particular.

Yes, if we are talking about older buildings in Moscow, then, naturally, they acquire a new color over time: restoration projects are financed, repairs are carried out that give such buildings a "second wind". This trend is simply priceless at the present time of new buildings. As for the buildings and constructions that are already modern to our generation, and among them there are many diverse and unique structures that are remembered by the eye. What is the first, what is the second construction, despite their age and condition, residents and regional authorities are obliged to preserve, since they contain the "zest" capitals of Russia. Many things can no longer be repeated due to outdated methods of creating such buildings, so this issue should be taken seriously, because the whole history of the city, or at least several of its large pages, is at stake.

What can be remembered in Moscow if you visit the capital for tourism purposes?

House-Ship

This is the name of a residential building built during the Soviet Union during the Gorbachev perestroika period. The residential area has 14 floors and is located on Bolshaya Tulskaya Street, 2. The impressive size of the building is really impressive. Residents of the area nicknamed this house "the ship" because from the street it is located in such a way that it resembles the Titanic. On the upper floors there are penthouses, which were built as a more elite and expensive offer to the buyer.

House on legs

The experimental and massive residential building was built in 1978 by Soviet architect Andrey Meersen. Between the buildings of the house there are reinforced concrete supporting "legs", because of which the building received a similar name from the locals. At the beginning of the building, this shape and the peculiarity of its appearance raised great doubts about the reliability of the building, but the building has been standing for almost half a century.

Locomotive House

The building, popularly nicknamed the "locomotive", is one of the oldest non-residential buildings in Moscow. Built in the 17th century, it caught the arrival of the army of the French commander Napoleon. And it was used for storage purposes: large stocks of grain and food were stored here. The old name is  Gosudarev Zhitny or Spare Yard. Later, the royal family used the building for cultural and educational purposes, and during the coming of the Bolsheviks to power, a railway station was located here. Food stocks were brought here from all over the country, an avant-garde "warehouse" was built; in the style of constructivism.
