Дом Мельникова в Кривоарбатском переулке

There are many unusual residential buildings in Moscow, but this small building stands out even against the background of atypical buildings in the capital. The Melnikov House is widely known abroad as one of the sights of the capital, but in Moscow itself, oddly enough, not everyone knows about it.
This house was built in 1929 in Krivoarbatsky lane, the architect himself planned to live in it. Currently, Melnikov's creation is officially recognized as an architectural monument, but the style in which this unusual house was created, experts still find it difficult to determine exactly.
The design of the house is unusual both outside and inside. Among the old buildings of Krivoarbatsky lane, it amazes with its futuristic appearance. In the plan, the building represents two three-storey cylinders, "embedded" one into the other by a third of the volume and dotted with numerous hexagonal windows. On the ground floor there was a dining room and kitchen, children's rooms and a dressing room. The second floor is divided between a living room and a bedroom. The living room has a huge octagonal screen window. The top floor houses a workshop, illuminated by 38 windows, and an outdoor solarium terrace.
After the death of the architect, the house passed to his heirs, and in the early 2000s, the son of Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov Vladimir Konstantinovich (also a well-known architect) bequeathed his part of the house as a gift to the state for setting up a museum in it. By the end of the 20th century, the house was dilapidated, cracks appeared in its walls, and there was an urgent need for its restoration. But due to litigation of the heirs, the official status of the house remained uncertain for a long time. Only in 2014, it was decided to arrange a museum in the building, dedicated to the creative activities of the Melnikov father and son. The staff of the Shchusev Museum of Architecture took an active part in its organization.
Today the house is still not in the best condition, but there are guided tours (only by prior registration and for small groups, so you need to sign up a month before visiting). The start of restoration work is scheduled for 2020.
