Izoterma Communal House

Meshchansky District, Russia

No longer standing

Demolished or destroyed.

The Izoterma Communal House, designed by Nikolai Kolli and completed in 1930 in Moscow's Meshchansky District, exemplified Soviet constructivist architecture during the early Stalin era. Built as a communal housing project, it embodied the radical social vision of the Soviet avant-garde through its functional modernist forms and collective living arrangements. Recognized as a historically valuable town-forming object that shaped its urban context, the building stood for nearly a century before its demolition in 2025, marking the loss of a significant architectural document from the revolutionary period of Soviet design.
