Residential house on Kamennoostrovsky Avenue

The residential building is surrounded by Art Nouveau and Neoclassicism buildings built by such architects as Mulkhanov, Lidval, Schuko. This environment had an essential influence on the choice of the stylistic means and also required a deep elaboration of details. The resulting proportions and the three-dimensional composition correspond to the aura of the neighbourhood, and at the same time give the building a recognizable vibe of early 2000s.

The building is made up of brick, with a granite lower part. The eastern façade decorated with columns and rustification faces the avenue and maintains the rhythm of its pre-Revolution architecture. The northern façade with its large semi-circular rotunda faces the Anikushin garden, creating a cosy intimate mood. This also reflects the secluded quality of the building where the number of residents is small, every storey accommodating only 2 apartments. One apartment at each floor has windows on two sides of the building, and the other one — on three sides, including a circular bay-window. The decoration details are painted purple.
