I was over to please to run into this magnicent tower by just one of my usual walks in this area. It was closer to my hotel in the Arbatskaya metro area. Actually I was looking for a restaurant and happened to see this modern age sky scraper. Had to take a photo as it was a refreshing change from the many dome-like and extravagant buildings in Moscow. No need to go out of your way to see it but if you do, take a pic.

It had been my dream to visit this house since I first saw it several decared ago. This innovatory combination of two cylinders with hexagonal windows is in all professional books and catalogs on constructivism in Russia. Now it is a state-funded museum with its doors open to the public. One can see three stories of unusually planned living space plus a basement and roof-top veranda all built at a time when communal flats in old-regime housing were the norm (late 1920s). The guest room and studio are of special interest. Also, the house's outdoor is open during the museum's working hours for the public to wander around in the garden (at no extra charge). It's cool, really.
