Buildings with towers and projections: how the capital is renovating its castle-like residential buildings

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The capital's architectural palette includes buildings with castle-like façades. Many of these buildings are over a century old. These buildings are often adorned with projections, pinnacles (small decorative turrets), and towers. The architectural styles of these structures range from eclecticism to Soviet neoclassicism. The Moscow City Services Department explained the specifics of major renovations for these buildings.

Eclecticism of 1914 on Novoslobodskaya

In 2025, as part of the program implementation major repairs of the housing stock Work is underway to renovate the façade of a building erected in the center of the capital in 1914. It is known as the Z.I. Zolotarskaya Apartment Building and is located at 33 Novoslobodskaya Street. The building was designed by Ernst-Richard Nirnsee, one of the pioneers of high-rise construction, in the eclectic architectural style.

With its eclectic mix of styles and diverse decorative elements, the turreted house resembles a veritable castle. The seven-story structure has a complex floor plan. The asymmetrical main façade is adorned with architectural elements. The first two floors are accented with rustication. Three bay windows are located between the third and sixth floors, two of which are topped by triangular pediments with lancet windows and bas-reliefs. The window openings on the third and sixth floors are accented by cornices. The façade also features rectangular bas-reliefs.

Specialists from the Moscow Capital Repair Fund (CRF) developed a customized renovation project for the building, identified the necessary technologies, and selected high-quality domestic materials. The façade renovation began with cleaning and repairing the plaster layer. Then, the team began localized repairs of the brickwork, sealing the joints, and applying an antifungal coating.

They will later restore the architectural elements, including repairing the rustication, bands, window sills, and panels. The façade will then be returned to its historical colors: "Nile Green" for the rusticated portion of the façade and "Art Nouveau Green" for the upper floors.

In addition, the craftsmen will renovate the basement, replace the drainpipes, and repair the entrance.

Pinnacles, portals and crowning cornice with modillions

Renovations to the apartment building on Frunzenskaya Embankment (Building 24) have neared completion. The nine- to 16-story building was constructed in 1951 according to a custom design by architects Sergei Turgenev and Boris Mezentsev in the Soviet neoclassical style. Adorned with a tower, spire, colonnade, and pinnacles, it's a veritable modern castle.

The house has a complex floor plan, and the walls are adorned with decorative elements. The courtyard facades are painted and plastered, while the street-facing upper portion is separated from the lower, four-story building by a profiled cornice. A crowning cornice with modillions runs around the building's perimeter. The corner facade features a mezzanine with a round window.

The work began with cleaning and washing the walls. Then, the workers applied an antifungal treatment to protect them from the harsh effects of precipitation. Then, specialists plastered the building and repainted it. The lower, rusticated section was given a light brown ash color, while the upper section was given a beige natural rice color.

The craftsmen paid special attention to the building's numerous decorative elements, the entrance portals, the crowning cornice with modillions, and the encircling interfloor cornice with dentils. They also renovated the pinnacles—the turrets that crown the façade and surround the large side tower with its spire and colonnade. They also renovated the entrance areas and installed new doors in the entryways.

In addition, the crew replaced the drainage system and repaired the tower crowning the building. They also replaced the central heating, drainage, and hot and cold water supply systems.

Rizalits with towers and stained-glass windows on Maroseyka

In 2022, the residential castle-style building at 13 Maroseyka Street, Building 2, underwent a major renovation. The six-story building, with two entrances and two turrets above them, was built in 1893 according to a custom design in the eclectic style. It was part of a complex of apartment buildings belonging to A.V. Lobozev, one of Moscow's largest landlords. The main façade, with its arched entryway, is decorated with panels, cornices, interfloor bands, architraves, and pilasters with capitals. The building's façades are highlighted by projections with turrets and stained-glass windows. The entrances are located within two symmetrical projections, which are adorned with tall stained-glass windows spanning several bays and crowning elongated hipped roofs. On the right side of the façade, there is another projection, adorned with decorative elements. A crowning cornice runs along the perimeter of the building.

During the work, FKR specialists paid special attention to preserving the building's unique historical appearance and restoring all damaged architectural elements. First, they removed the plaster and paint layer and applied a modern antifungal and anticorrosive coating, which significantly extends the lifespan of the materials. Then, they replaced localized bricks and repaired the brickwork. Architectural elements were restored, including architraves, cornices, pilasters with capitals, and arch vaults. In the final stage, they renewed the plaster layer and applied a modern, weather-resistant acrylic paint. The façade was returned to its historical colors of dark yellow and creamy white.

The contractors also repaired the house's basement, slopes, and driveway canopies, installing new downspouts and drip caps. The roof sheathing, roofing, and some severely damaged rafters were replaced. Mineral wool slabs were installed as insulation. A fire-retardant coating was applied to all wooden elements. Furthermore, the house's drainage, cold and hot water supply, and central heating lines were completely updated.

The Moscow City Services Complex noted that the regional housing overhaul program being implemented in the capital is in line with the goals and objectives of the national project.

Recently opened stations The Troitskaya metro line—Vavilovskaya, Akademicheskaya, Krymskaya, and ZIL—were the first stations on the Emerald Line to be equipped with digital navigation. Now, the total number of signs in the Moscow metro displaying digital information has reached 200. At these stations, modern technology is combined with the familiar navigation principles of all Moscow public transportation.

"A year ago, Sergei Sobyanin opened the first digital public transport stations—Maryina Roshcha on the Big Circle Line and Terminal No. 1 at Moscow's Nizhegorodskaya Station. They have proven their effectiveness, and we've received numerous positive reviews from passengers. This year, digital navigation was installed on the new Vavilovskaya-ZIL section of the Troitskaya Line. We plan to open six more stations on this line by 2030. Once these stations are in place, the third section of the Troitskaya Line will not require a full-scale physical navigation system upgrade. Information about new transport facilities will be displayed remotely on digital signs," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Maxim Liksutov.

Digital navigation on the new section of the Troitskaya Line will increase the amount of useful information provided to passengers. For example, it will highlight more popular locations near metro stations and inform about changes to public transportation near them, including those scheduled for short-term service. ZIL signs will be able to provide additional information to passengers during large-scale events at the nearby CSKA Arena multifunctional sports complex. Furthermore, the innovative navigation is brighter and more visible.

Consecutive exit numbering has been introduced at transfer stations on all metro lines.Sobyanin: More than 90 metro stations will be equipped with digital navigation by 2030.

Digital navigation systems will continue to be implemented in the metro in the future. According to the Moscow transport development program through 2030, over 30 percent of signs will be equipped with screens. The primary focus of digital navigation implementation will be on transfer hubs and stations near major transport hubs.

Young animators created a cartoon about the polar bear Terpey at the Moscow 2030 forum.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Around 200 young participants in the workshops held at the flagship venue of the Moscow Mayor's "My District" program in 50th Anniversary of October Park created an animated film about the polar bear Terpey, a new resident of the Moscow Zoo, which is under the care of the "My District" program. The film was based on the bear's journey from Kazan to Moscow by train. The workshop was part of the "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030" forum.

"This project is especially dear to us because it tells the true story of Terpey the polar bear—from his rescue in harsh Yakutia to his move to the Moscow Zoo. It's crucial for me that the younger generation, through creativity and kindness, learns the value of protecting rare species. The story of happy Terpey is true proof that care and compassion can change the world for the better," noted Svetlana Akulova, General Director of the Moscow Zoo and President of the Union of Zoos and Aquariums of Russia and the Eurasian Regional Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

From script to finale

The children worked on the cartoon for approximately 120 hours, from writing the plot to the final animation. In total, approximately 1,900 frames were shot. The young animators crafted three main characters and approximately 20 supporting ones from 50 skeins of wool. They also built 11 mock-ups of various locations using foam, cork, cardboard, play dough, paint, and much more.

The project's technical equipment included three computers, three cameras, and over 15 lighting fixtures. This allowed the children to master professional animation filmmaking techniques.

"I loved it so much! I usually watch cartoons on my phone, but here we made a bear and a real movie about him out of special thread, wire, and other things. The character moves just like a real one. Our whole family went to see Terpey at the zoo—he's so big and fluffy! Our cartoon bear turned out just like the real thing. Now I tell all my friends we made a cartoon about Terpey," shared ten-year-old Nikita, a participant in the project.

Based on real events

The children's animation project became part of the educational program of the "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030" forum, aimed, among other things, at environmental education and raising awareness among the younger generation about wildlife conservation.

Terpei, a polar bear, had a difficult life before finding a home at the Moscow Zoo. As a cub, he was left alone in Yakutia, where he was rescued by a local resident. Terpei then lived in Perm, Rostov-on-Don, and spent several years in temporary care at the Kazan Zoo. In October 2024, the animal traveled by train to the capital, where a spacious enclosure with a pool and snow slide was prepared for him. Specialists are monitoring his condition around the clock.
