Newly Renovated Central Children's Store

By: Ernest Rudyak

The famous Lubyanka

Square in Russia is getting

a new facelift this years as

t h e o r i g i n a l C e n t r a l

Children's Store will opened

its newly renovated doors to

eager young children and

parents alike.

T h e b u i l d i n g w a s

constructed in 1957 by

famous architect, Alexey

Nikolayevich Dushkin. The

fu l l res tora t ion o f the

building was completed

December 2014.

The last few months have

been used for designers to

c reate a modern look

o u t s i d e a n d i n s i d e

Children’s Store. Individual

department stores are also

very close to being ready for

opening day. !

ENGEOCOM has been

working on reconstructing

and adapting the current

structure of the building to a

more modern infrastructure

that could house multiple

stores and become a staple

in Lubyanka Square.

Before starting to work on

t h i s p r o j e c t ,

M o s g o s s t r o y n a d z o r

submitted the necessary

documents of compliance in

order to align contraction

goals with local guidelines

and regulations. !

The restorat ion of the

b u i l d i n g h a d t o b e

completed in extremely

s m a l l a r e a s , a n d t h e

surrounding v ic in i ty of

Children’s Place lies among

the Ministry of Transport of

the Russian Federation and

the hotel “Savoy.”

The delivery, and assembly

of materials was made

extremely difficult due the

positioning of the work site. !

Given the monumental properties of Children’s Store, and the historic attachments most locals have to this building, the new changes are meant to preserve the original outline of its silhouette, space structure and other design elements.

More than 50,000 visitors

will be expected to enjoy

t h i s n e w l y r e n o v a t e d

infrastructure in April 2015.
