In the capital, within the framework of regional capital repairs program More than 30 buildings have been renovated, their facades adorned with festive garlands. This decorative motif, known since antiquity, has become part of the city's architectural language. Garlands have adorned both elegant pre-revolutionary buildings and monumental Stalin-era buildings.
During major repairs, specialists Moscow City Services Complex carefully restore vibrant architectural accents that highlight the unique character of each home.
A house built in 1954 on 1st Novopodmoskovny Lane
In 2022, the façade of Building 4 on 1st Novopodmoskovny Lane was restored. The U-shaped building was erected in 1954 in the Soviet neoclassical style. The first floor is plastered and accented with rustication, floors two through five are clad with painted ceramic blocks, and floors six through nine are clad with unpainted ceramic blocks. The interior of the courtyard façade is made of brick, painted, and accented with avant-corps. The building's façades are decorated with architraves, corbels, and pilasters, and are topped with a massive roof cornice with dentils and ionic frames.
Specialists cleaned and washed all façade surfaces with a special solution, repaired cracks, and restored the brickwork. They also applied an antifungal treatment, significantly extending the lifespan of the surfaces, and water repellency.
Additionally, damaged decorative elements—columns and pilasters, capitals, keystones, and moldings in the form of wreaths and garlands—were repaired. The façade of the building's lower five floors was plastered and painted lemon yellow to match the color scheme. The balconies, basement, window and door jambs were also renovated, and the downspouts and drip caps were replaced.
House built in 1897 on Pokrovka Street
In 2023, the façade, roof, entrance halls, and basement of building 34 on Pokrovka Street underwent a major renovation. The building is decorated with wreaths and garlands of flowers and petals. The brackets on the crowning cornice are covered with plaster acanthus leaves.
The house was built in the early 19th century in the neoclassical style. It acquired its current appearance after a renovation in 1897. The second-floor window spaces are decorated with architraves, fascias, and keystones. Some third-floor piers feature columns with Corinthian capitals. A frieze, decorated with brackets and crowned with a cornice, runs along the perimeter of the front facades.
IN Moscow Capital Repair Fund We developed a custom project that took into account all the nuances of the house, the presence of architectural elements, and the color scheme. The specialists removed old paint from the exterior façade walls, repaired the plaster layer, including the rusticated piers, and restored the brickwork. Areas of the walls affected by fungus or showing signs of moisture were treated with a preservative. After all the preparatory work, the façade was painted in shades of "light green" and "classic white."
The decorative elements were carefully renovated: corner joints and architraves were plastered and painted white, and the moldings were restored. Modern windows and window sills were also installed in the common areas, and the building's basement was re-plastered. The roof sheathing and roofing were replaced. To reduce the risk of fire, a fire-retardant compound was applied to the wooden elements. Temperature and humidity were regulated using modern thermal insulation materials.
More than 30 residential buildings with medallions on their facades have been renovated in the capital.Major repairs to residential roofs have begun in Moscow.
A house built in 1943 on 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya
In 2025, the façade, roof, entrance halls, basement, and several utility systems of Building 13, Building 1a on 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street were renovated. The eight-story building was constructed in 1943 according to a custom design in the Soviet neoclassical style. The street facades on the second through fourth floors are rusticated. The spaces between windows on the upper floors are decorated with panels bearing Soviet symbols. Interstitial bands add volume to the building. The front facades feature French balconies with metal embellishments. A massive cornice and balustrade complete the structure.
Specialists devoted considerable attention to restoring the historic building's original appearance. They cleaned the facades, repaired the plaster, sealed cracks, and carefully and meticulously restored the architectural decoration—the rustication, panels, and balustrade—to their original beauty. They then applied a bioprotective compound to wet areas and painted the building in the historic shades of "light yellow wheat" and "Florentine brown." They replaced the downspouts, repaired the balconies and entrances, and rebuilt the basement.
The roof sheathing, roofing, and rafters were replaced. All wooden elements were treated with a fire-retardant compound, which reduces the risk of fire. The temperature and humidity levels were then regulated using modern thermal insulation materials. Additionally, the crew renovated the entryways and basements, and replaced the drainage, central heating, and hot and cold water supply systems.
