BUBYR'S HOUSE (11 Stremyannaya Street), monument of Art Nouveau architecture. Built in 1906-07 (architect N.V. Vasilyev, A.F. Bubyr) as an apartment house by commission of the Ugryumov family on a narrow, elongated plot. Gamma-type in plan, the house consists of two six-storied buildings: the front one and a back-street one, and of a three-storied wing. The front facade is built in the style of the Northern Art Nouveau, and is notable for its three-dimensional asymmetry (with a heavy compass window and modest stanzas in the centre), contrasting its texture with the colour of decoration (from rock-face stones of red granite to fine glazed tile), various patterns of window apertures, symbolic sculptural ornaments. Soon after the construction was over, Bubyr bought the house and organized his studio there (apartment 10). As of 1917, architect Vasilyev also lived there. Today, it is a residential building.
