      • The power station was built in 1905–1907, designed by Vasily Bashkirov, to power the Moscow tram.
      • The reconstruction was carried out by the studio of Italian architect Renzo Piano, who also designed the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
      • The House of Culture opened in December 2021; it was created by Leonid Mikhelson's V–A–C Foundation.
      • Four steel chimneys about 70 metres tall serve as air intakes, bringing fresh air into the building.
      • At the opening, Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson spent months re-filming the series Santa Barbara here, live for visitors.
      • Inside there is a library, a cinema, a concert hall and open workshops.
