A large-scale ensemble was erected under the leadership of architect Dmitry Burdin as part of a quarter for the scientific and creative intelligentsia. The houses, built according to a typical series project, have an underground garage, which also serves as an architectural dominant: the part facing Stroiteley Street resembles an ancient aqueduct.
The buildings are adorned with rich stucco, characteristic of Soviet neoclassicism. Moreover, they are faced with red tiles, which also gave the complex its unofficial name — “Red Houses.”

They replaced the main pipelines for cold and hot water supply, central heating and drainage, and also laid a new electrical network.
The facades of the houses were painted in a historical red-orange shade, and the stucco and other decorative elements — in “signal white.”
