Narkomfin Housing Cooperative

The Narkomfin Housing Cooperative, established in 1928 in Moscow, was a pioneering architectural project designed to promote communal living in the post-revolutionary period of the Soviet Union. Created by architects Moisei Ginsburg and Ignaty Milinis, it featured modernist design principles, emphasizing functionality and efficiency. The cooperative aimed to provide affordable housing while fostering a sense of community among residents. Its unique layout included shared amenities and communal spaces, reflecting the Soviet ideology of collective living. Although it faced challenges over the years, Narkomfin remains an important example of early 20th-century architecture and social housing concepts.
