RENOVATION OF KHRUSHCHEVKA

Educational Project

The reconstructed building is located in the city centre of Rostovon-Don, but that type of buildings is one of the most popular on the teritory of USSR. The building is interesting for its block structure, the construction of one fivestory house could take less than a month. This building series 1-447 is made of brick. During the renovation of the building, special attention was paid to improving the comfort of living, as a result of which the apartments were completely replanned, their area was increased, balconies were expanded, an elevator was added. In addition, the 6th floor was designed, which made it possible to create two-level apartments with large verandas.

The main purpose of renovation is to create comfortable apartments. My idea was to combine the facade of the Soviet times and the traditional southern house, to give color to a typical building. I emphasized the traditional shape of the house with a pitched roof, added shutters on the windows of the 1st floor, the house itself was done in light colors with the addition of traditional ceramic tiles for the south of Russia. I also used wooden railing repeating the motif of the village fence. I have provided places for climbing plants (grapes, ivy) that grow in these places.

On the ground floor are located: score, pharmacy, cafe, office, apartment for people with limited mobility.
