Konstantin Melnikov, Melnikov House, Moscow 1927-29. 'the house was originally designed and built in 1927-1929 as 'an experimental cylindrical house' to test out Konstantin Melnikov’s very own concept of mass construction of residential estate. The original layout, elegant spatial arrangement and smart engineering techniques made this masterpiece world famous. By words of Melnikov, the essence of the house is in 'even distribution of weight, light, air and heat'. Being of a unique architectural form, it still looks modern while keeping authentic memorial atmosphere of the 20th century, reflecting the tragic life of this maverick architect. It consists of two overlapping cylindrical towers, nine meters in diameter each, without any internal load-bearing columns or walls. The wooden ceilings were formed by a rectangular grid of flat planks. In his house Melnikov employed more than sixty 'honeycomb' hexagonal windows providing very special dispersed light. One bedroom was designed for the whole family, partitioned by wall screens.' Schusev State Museum of Architecture. Photographer Florstein. Wikimedia Commons
