Restoration and adaptation of the object of cultural heritage of federal significance “House of M.V. Kochubey” (“House with the Moors”)

In 2025, PSB ZhilStroy company completed the restoration and adaptation of the object of cultural heritage of federal significance “House of M.V. Kochubey” (“House with the Moors”). The works lasted 2.5 years. The mid-19th-century building is a rare example of an estate complex executed in the traditions of the Neo-Renaissance. The façade is adorned with a carved fence with four marble busts of Moorish women. The appearance and layout underwent changes several times. Residential apartments, a military tribunal and a cosmetic clinic were housed here. In 2014 the building was transferred to the city administration.

Specialists of PSB ZhilStroy restored the façade, the cast-iron gates and elements of the fence; the original colouristic and textural appearance of the formal halls was preserved; the staircases, wooden doors and windows (some of them recreated), paintings, stucco and sculptures were restored; al fresco painting was recreated; engineering communications were replaced; a new roof truss system was installed; the roof was renewed; and some of the premises were adapted for office use. The mansion was transferred to the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation.
