Ul. Large Tula, 2

This 14-storey residential building is called people no other than the "house-ship" or "Titanic". Built in 1981 in the style of brutalism, this panel building was vividly distinguished against the background of the old low-rise building area. With its impressive sizes (400 m in length and more than 50 m in height), as well as the upper rows of glazed balconies, it was like a cruise liner. By the way, on the upper floors there are two-story apartments, which were conceived as elite.

The construction was carried out on request of the Ministry of Atomic Industry of the USSR. From here - another name of this Moscow House - "House of Nuclearies", as well as a unique strength concrete wallsnot inferior to Soviet atomic reactors.

Krivarbatsky lane, 6

The house-workshop of the architect Konstantin Melnikova is referred to as the "icon of constructivism" and in importance for Russian culture comparing with the Kizhi and the cathedral of Vasily blissful. In 1927, the brilliant architect designed the "eight" from the cylinders embedded into each other, creating in the center of Moscow not just a residential building for himself and his family, and the space like that was not in the world. House built without supporting supports and boy overlaps, survived the explosion of a fugasic bomb, was restored after the war and entered all architecture textbooks.

For simplicity and economy, he began to call the house-hive. Most recently, after a long litigation and proceedings, the famous Melnikov house opened to visit. Guests acquaint S. architectural features The monument, show branded hexagonal windows, a bedroom with Venetian plaster and folding "Sorry-Troops", followed by the family of world famous architect.

Ul. Running, 34.

This house was built in 1978 on the project of Andrei Meerson as experimental. The main feature of the structure is twenty pairs of reinforced concrete "legs" -Opor, thanks to which the house and received the nickname "House on the legs", "House-Countryside", "House-octopic" and "Hut on Courish Legs". These supports narrow down the book that creates the effect of "unreliability" design. The very same house seems to be expanding up - each of the next 13 floors protrudes overlays over the lower. The main accents on the facade were three unseasonable staircases of oval form.

When developing the project, Andrei Meerson was inspired by the ideas of Le Corbusier: as a result, his "house on the legs" with his proportions and mowed supports resembles the Marseille "residential unit." Initially, the house was conceived as a hotel for the participants of the Summer Olympic Games of 1980 in Moscow, and as a result of the apartment in the new house, they gotten well-deserved workers of the plant "Banner of Labor", which produced the aircraft IL-12, IL-14 and IL-18. Hence another name - "Aviator House".

This is not the only "house on the legs" in Moscow: this can be seen at the addresses: the prospect of the world, 184/2 (opposite the monument "Worker and collective farmer"), Smolensk Boulevard, 6/8, house-commune on Ordzhonikidze Street, 8/9 .

D. Ostrovka, 14th km of Novorzansky sh.

Very near Moscow, in the village of Islets (Ramensky district) not the first year attracts the attention of all the very unusual house.

The building is built as an Indian elephant in a bright red popone, decorated with small windows - rhombus and painted with juicy paints. Inside - four floors connected by a spiral staircase. The author and owner of the house Alexey Sorokin is looking for buyers: "This is a dome-shaped huge room, where you can bring any designer fantasy. No walls, no supporting beams - nothing limits you. "

Ul. New Basmannaya, 2/1, p. 1

Looking at this constructivist building, resembling a steam locomotive, I can not even believe that his walls remember Napoleon. In the XVII century, a residential or spare yard was located here - warehouses where grain and food reserves were kept. According to some information, for the basements of this palace ice was delivered from St. Petersburg himself. In the 1750-1760s, a complex in the form of a square of four long two-storey buildings was built here. The Palace is hardly the only one of the government buildings of the capital, who survived the fire of 1812.

In the twentieth century, the fuel palace changed the owners more than once and was subjected to restructures. In the 1900s, the Institute of Noble Maidens named after Alexander III was located in the building: on the project of architects N.V. Nikitina and A.F. Maisner was prescribed the third floor. After the revolution, the building occupied the People's Commissariat of the Communications. In 1932-1933, the appearance of the building has changed radically. Architect I.A. Fomin gave a spare palace constructivist features: two more floors were tested, the facades were aligned, the shapes of window openings were changed, and the nine-story tower with a clock was raised on the corner of the new Basmanny and Sadovaya-Chernogryazkaya streets, because of which the house was nicknamed "House with a pipe "

ul. Mashkova, 1.

Mashkova Street, located near the metro station "Clean Ponds," has long been famous for its profits and buildings in Modern style, whose construction peak fell at the beginning of the twentieth century. But despite this, today this street is more famous thanks to the modern building, namely home-egg.

The house-egg appeared in 2002 and became not only a landmark, which is shown to tourists, but also the symbol of all Luzhkovsk architecture. The house-egg project was created by architect Sergey Tkachenko for the maternity hospital in Bethlehem, but there abandoned this idea. As a result, the house-egg was erected on Mashkova Street as an extension to a new multi-storey house. In the house of 4 floors and 5 rooms. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, a hall and a sauna. On the second - kitchen with a dining room, a room for servants and a bathroom. On the third - living room. On the fourth - the dome-shaped room.

ul. Nezhinskaya, 13 / st. Dovzhenko, 6.

"House-Bublik" - the first round house in Moscow. It was built in 1972 in the area of \u200b\u200bOchakovo-Matveyevskoye in the west of Moscow on the eve of the Olympiad-80. The unusual form of the house developed architect Evgeny Stamo and an engineer Alexander Markelov. For construction, standard panels were used, which, in order to close the ring, were raised at an angle of permissible error of 6 degrees. Therefore, the buildings and turned out to be quite impressive. Find you need from 26 entrances is not so easy.

According to the idea of \u200b\u200barchitects, the Olympic Village in the form of five houses should appear in Moscow. However, this project was expensive, and in the end only two houses were built. Moreover, the twin brother of the first "home-bagel" appeared only after seven years, in 1979, a year before the 2000 Olympics in the West of the capital - in the Ramenki region. At one time, in the house on Nezhinskaya, outstanding actors of the theater and cinema - Honored Artist of the RSFSR Savely Kramarov and Honored Artist of Russia Galina Belyaeva, as well as film director, screenwriter and poet Emil Lotanu.
