Half-columns with capitals, bas-reliefs and modillions
A new life will be given to a seven-story residential building at 3-5 Krasnoprudnaya Street, Building 1. It was built in 1947 in the Soviet neoclassical style. It has a through arched passage. The façade is distinguished by rustication and is richly decorated. To the left of the central vertical axis is a massive group with a pediment: half-columns of the Corinthian and Ionic orders are arranged in three tiers, between which the walls are decorated with panels and bas-reliefs.
The specialists will comprehensively repair the facade and work on the engineering systems. To preserve the original beauty of the building, they developed an individual project, which took into account all the features of its design and selected modern domestic materials. As a result, the house will be transformed, while its architectural individuality will be preserved and its operational qualities will be improved.
Work on the facade will begin with clearing the old paint coating, then the craftsmen will knock off the old plaster. After that, all surfaces will be completely washed.

The balconies on the facade will be repaired, and a new external drainage system will be hung. It is planned to update the entrance groups, replace doors and windows in common areas. Craftsmen will put the basement of the building in order, replace the risers of hot and cold water supply, central heating and drainage.
Stucco, arches and niches
In 2025, a residential building of variable number of storeys (seven, eight and 10 storeys) at 13/3 Sadovaya-Chernogryazskaya Street, building 1, will undergo a major overhaul. It was erected in 1929–1930 according to the design of architect Viktor Kokorin. The building consists of a long rectangular volume with two through passages into the inner courtyard and a quadrangular part. Its ends adjoin the neighbouring houses. The façade has projections, arches and niches. The first two floors are decorated with pilasters, architraves and portals, the balconies of the fifth to seventh floors are decorated with brackets with stucco. Along the perimeter, the house is crowned with a composite profiled cornice with dentils and modillions.
The specialists will put the facade and roof in order, and also replace the engineering systems and risers. The work affecting the facade began with clearing and washing the open surfaces. It is planned to repair all architectural elements: columns, pilasters with capitals, brackets, moldings, crowning cornice. The lost elements will be restored.

In addition, the entrance groups and windows in common areas will be updated, the slopes will be repaired and the ebbs will be replaced, the blind area and base will be put in order, a new external drainage system will be hung on the building. The sheathing and roofing will be laid on the pitched roof, the temperature and humidity regime will be established using mineral wool slabs, and the wooden structures will be treated with a fire-retardant composition.
On the courtyard side of the facade, the external garbage chute is being repaired. In the engineering systems, the main water drainage, cold and hot water supply lines will be replaced. Next, they will work on the central heating and risers.
Pinnacles, interfloor belts and balustrades with pedestals
Recently, a major overhaul of the 16-story building at 120 Mira Avenue was completed. It was built in 1955. Its façade is symmetrical, the central part is accented by a portico and decorated with pilasters with capitals and bas-reliefs. The protruding side wings are highlighted by towers, arched galleries, acroteria and pinnacles. The walls of the lower four floors are treated with rustication. The roof railing is made in the form of a balustrade with pedestals and acroteria.
After a preparatory complex of measures, the four lower floors, covered with rusticated plaster, were painted in a historical pale brown color. The upper floors made of ceramic blocks were hydrophobized: the facade surfaces were covered with a water-repellent layer for reliable protection of the external walls of the building.
Particular attention was paid to the complex architectural decor. The craftsmen restored the appearance of the tower tops and pinnacles, the walls in the arched galleries and the interfloor belts. In addition, the decorative capitals, balustrades with pedestals were repaired. The specialists installed new window units in the common areas, tidied up the entrance groups and balconies, and replaced the drainpipes.
