Over the 10 years of implementing the capital repair program for the housing stock, specialists from the Moscow city services complex have put buildings of different styles in order – from the eclecticism of the late 19th century to late Soviet brutalism. Of interest are also houses with brackets on the facades – almost 300 such buildings have already been repaired.
A bracket is a structural and at the same time decorative element whose utilitarian function is to support some structure – a cornice or a balcony. In addition, architects can decorate it with stucco or give it a certain shape.
Cornice with modillions and a row of attics
One of such buildings was the house with brackets at 50 Skhodnenskaya Street. In 2023, the façade was restored and a number of in-house engineering systems were replaced. The four-story residential building was built in 1957 according to a standard design. The ground floor was rusticated and separated by a wide architectural belt. The main and side facades were highlighted by trapezoidal bay windows decorated with balustrades and festoons. The fourth floor was separated from the lower ones by a profiled belt. The building is completed by a crowning cornice with modillions and an even row of attics.
In order to restore the original appearance of the building, specialists from the Moscow Capital Repair Fund created a unique project. They selected high-quality domestic materials and modern technologies. Maximum attention was paid to the restoration of the facade, decorated with decorative elements.
For the convenience of residents, the work was divided into several stages. First, the surfaces were cleared of accumulated dirt, and then peeling parts of the plaster layer were knocked off. At the next stage, antifungal protection was applied to wet areas. The brickwork damaged during many years of operation was repaired – local replacement and repair were carried out. Decorative elements located on the facade were carefully restored. Those that were lost during operation were fragmented.
At the final stage, the craftsmen renewed the plaster layer and painted the facade in shades of “cloudy apricot” and “creamy white”. It is noteworthy that it was possible to preserve the historical color scheme. They also repaired the balcony slabs and painted the fences, updated the entrance doors to the entrances, the basement and drainpipes. In addition, they replaced the drainage mains, central heating and cold water supply risers.
Rizalites with pediments and arched lintels
In 2024, a six-story building with brackets was renovated at 6 Trekhprudny Lane. It was built in 1925 according to an individual project in the eclectic style. The facades were highlighted by risalits with pediments, interfloor and window sill cornices, pilasters, architraves, keystones, rusticated portals of entrance groups, as well as arched lintels, balconies, brackets and window openings of different formats. A crowning cornice is located along the perimeter of the building.
As part of the work, the facade and roof were renovated. Specialists cleared and washed the exposed surfaces of the facade, and carried out local repair of the brickwork. Wet areas were treated with an antifungal compound.
Then all architectural elements were repaired, including keystones, balusters, pilasters, and the cornice was restored. The facade was plastered and painted. The shade “beige natural rice” was selected for the main part, and “classic white” for the decorative elements. In addition, the craftsmen updated the entrance groups and the base, replaced the ebbs, repaired the slopes and hung a new drainage system on the facade. On the roof, the roofing deck, fences and doors were repaired. All internal wooden structures were treated with a fire-retardant composition. Insulation was carried out in the attic spaces and ventilation shafts and the temperature and humidity regime was established using mineral wool slabs.
Arched frames and flower boxes
In 2025, major repairs began on a residential five-story building with brackets at 17 Zeleny Prospekt. It was built in 1954 according to an individual project in the style of Soviet neoclassicism. The window openings on the ground floor were highlighted with arched frames, and the entrance groups were accentuated with portals. Interfloor and crowning cornices stretched along the perimeter of the building.
Work is already underway in the basements and entrances of the facility, and the utility systems are also being put in order. In addition, they plan to update the facade with brackets and the roof. Specialists have developed an individual work project, selected modern domestic materials and technologies. The renovation of the facade made of unpainted red brick will begin with cleaning and washing open surfaces. Then they will repair the brickwork and start treating it with an antiseptic.
The craftsmen will carry out hydrophobization of the facade – they will cover it with a special thin film, which will protect the walls from the aggressive impact of precipitation. Then the balconies, entrance groups and architectural elements will have to be repaired. Decorative elements on the facade, including arched window frames, flower boxes and brackets supporting the balconies, will be painted in a shade of “signal white”.
Particular attention will be paid to the repair of the basement – the old plaster layer will be dismantled, antifungal protection will be applied, the entire surface will be plastered using a reinforcing mesh and painted. The roof will have its sheathing and roofing replaced, and in the attic all wooden structures will be treated with a fire-retardant composition, after which mineral wool slabs will be laid.
The walls in the entrances will be plastered and painted, the floor tiles will be repaired and the handrails will be restored. In addition, the central heating and water supply lines will be replaced, and cold and hot water supply risers will be installed.
The Moscow City Services Complex noted that the regional housing stock capital repairs program being implemented in the capital is in line with the goals and objectives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.
