      🚶 Batenin Housing Estate

      Лесной проспект, 37–39 (у Батенинской площади)

      A Constructivist quarter of the 1920s–30s: ribbon-shaped apartment blocks, garden courtyards, bathhouses and a kindergarten — Leningrad's answer to the Bauhaus.

      • The estate was built in 1930–1933 to a design by G. A. Simonov, T. D. Katsenelenbogen and others.
      • The name comes from the holdings of the merchant Batenin, which stuck in local place names.
      • The two trapezoid quarters stand symmetrically, the southern one slightly bigger than the northern.
      • The long flat facades are broken up by Simonov's signature triple-span arched passageways.
      • The middle staircase of the northern quarter is enclosed in a cylinder above a tall passageway.
