The apartment building at 6–8 Chekhov Street in Rostov-on-Don stands out against the backdrop of typical development through its original architectural articulation and careful attention to the urban context. Constructed of red brick on a site with complex topography, the building incorporates drive-through passages and a developed plinth level adapted to the landscape, while responding to the historic fabric of the city center.

This mid-rise apartment residential building at 6–8 Chekhov Street in Rostov-on-Don distinguishes itself from typical surrounding development through its complex plasticity and sensitivity to the urban context.
The building is constructed of red brick on a site with challenging terrain. The stepped massing allowed the project to take advantage of a significant change in elevation.
The façades rhythmically alternate vertical projections with deep recessed loggias.
The project incorporates drive-through passages and a developed plinth level adapted to the landscape, while taking into account the context of the historic urban fabric.
The design provides multi-room apartments with a clear division into “day” (living rooms, kitchens) and “night” (bedrooms) zones.
Thanks to the articulated façade and projecting volumes, the residential spaces benefit from excellent natural daylight.
Design and construction period: 1985–1995
Architect: Evgeny Mironov
