Mansion at 6th Rostovskiy Pereulok 4

The three-storey residential mansion with a lower ground floor and a mansard is located on 6th Rostovskiy Lane in Khamovniki. Currently, the house is an object of cultural heritage, with its rare combination of constructivism and early architecture of the new time. The brick building built in 1929 has bare-shell finishing. From the first to the third floor there are several apartments with a lot of windows and entrances to balconies, a lower ground floor and a mansard have a corridor-office planing.

The mansion is located next to the embankment of the Moscow River, the Morozova Mansion, the Palibin House and the Florence Museum. It has a convenient exit to the embankment of the Moscow River, Kutuzovskiy Avenue, the Garden and Boulevard Ring Road. It is in an 11-minute walk from Kievskaya and Smolenskaya Metro Stations.

The Trudkoopstroy residential building is the only remaining building in the capital by architect Wilhelm Zimmer. In the 1920s the concept of co-operative houses was developed, so in the Trudkoopstroy house the basement floor was equipped for a common laundry, the mansard floor was allocated for a ‘corridor-type’ dormitory with common kitchens, and the remaining floors housed flats. The most expressive element is the roof with a different-sized volume and stove chimneys of different shapes. In 1967, the building of Trudkoopstroy was featured in the film ‘Three Poplars on Plyushchikha’, as the cafe sets were lined up in front of it.
