Renovation house projects: ordinary landscaping
Thanks to the use of new standards of improvement established by Moscow legislation, houses built as part of the renovation program provide new residents with a quality of life that is very different from previous conditions. Despite the fact that apartments are provided to participants in the renovation program of equal value, the total area in most cases exceeds the total area of the vacated premises. In other words, the living space and number of rooms will definitely be no less than in the previous apartment, but the improvement of the house and surrounding area will be an order of magnitude higher. Thus, in new houses the height of the ceilings has been increased, loggias and balconies are glazed, improved sound insulation is provided, and places for installing air conditioners are provided. As for the entrances to the entrance, convenient access for people with limited mobility and families with children is provided from the very beginning - as well as the placement of everyday infrastructure facilities on the ground floors. Without exaggeration, you can ride a bicycle here, and traffic jams from strollers certainly do not threaten such an entrance. Unfortunately, practically no “Khrushchev” can boast of such essentially ordinary “luxuries”.

However, this new standard of improvement affected not only the obvious things like convenient entrances, high ceilings and improved finishing of apartments. Much attention is paid to energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of new apartment buildings. In other words, they should be warmer, but at the same time energy consumption is lower than in old five-story buildings. This becomes possible due to an increase in the level of thermal protection of external walls, roofs, and attic floors. The windows and balcony doors of the apartments are also additionally “insulated”. All heating appliances have thermostats installed. In addition, all intra-house utility networks are thermally insulated, and heat meters - both apartment-by-apartment and communal - are, as they say, already “pre-installed”. The same applies to water meters. To save energy and ensure safety, presence sensors are installed on stairs, platforms and other workplaces. In a word, most of the old five-story buildings never dreamed of this.
The appearance of “renovation” houses cannot be called impersonal at all. They rather resemble some Swedish quarter with the same correct geometry, and most importantly, ergonomic and convenient infrastructure. And this is what makes them especially good. The design takes into account all the needs of a modern city dweller, including bicycle paths, parking and places for walking dogs, not to mention playgrounds and green spaces.

Two-roomed flat. The declared area is 55.7 sq.m.
In the language of realtors, such an apartment is called a “vest”, since its windows face different sides. Overall, I liked it.
Spacious, although
In the KOPE standard series mentioned above, a similar apartment was larger: 58-59 “squares”. Large hall. Balcony from the kitchen. The kitchen, in comparison with the Khrushchev buildings, is huge: 12 meters! But - elongated. It is unknown whether it will be sufficiently lit during the day, given that the exit to the balcony is directly from the kitchen.
Despite the fact that the apartment makes a good impression due to the spacious hall, the living rooms are not very large. Therefore, it is impossible to equip them with storage spaces without significantly reducing the living space. Yes, in the hall there is enough space for a full-fledged built-in wardrobe, but in this apartment a dressing room or storage room insistently suggests itself. Comfort class, though...
Families of one or two people rarely live in two-room apartments. And in one closet in the hall it is simply unrealistic to place absolutely all the things that the family uses in all seasons. It is possible that you will have to reduce the living space to create additional storage spaces.
And the openings here, as in all projects, are standard. This is me again about a barrier-free environment.
Apartments in houses for renovation
As for the apartments themselves, they are like a blank slate for every new resident: despite the ready-made comfort-class renovation, the light finish allows you to bring your own imagination into the living spaces. Some will be closer to minimalism or pure Scandinavian style - by the way, furniture from IKEA looks great in these apartments, while others will create a classic interior. However, placing Provence or contemporary in the rooms, or creating something more exotic will also not be difficult - everything is ready for the new residents to experiment.

The cost of the first apartments for purchase after renovation has been announced
The Moscow City Hall has determined the procedure for purchasing the first apartments and their cost for participants in the renovation program who want to increase their housing. The Mosstroykompleks website lists 80 apartments ready for purchase for an additional payment in the first renovation building in the Izmailovo district (5th Parkovaya Street).
According to published documents, out of 340 apartments in the building, 80 premises ranging from 38.2 to 78.5 square meters are for sale. m. At the same time, the Moscow authorities offer only one-room and three-room apartments for purchase. There are no “two-pieces” for sale. The cheapest apartment on offer is a one-room apartment with an area of 38.7 square meters. m - costs just over 6.3 million rubles. The most expensive is a three-room apartment on the 18th floor with an area of 78.1 square meters. m - costs more than 12.9 million rubles.
“The announced price per square meter in a house built for resettlers approximately corresponds to the Moscow average prices for finished comfort-class housing. However, it is necessary to take into account the qualitative characteristics in which city properties are still inferior to complex development projects with individual architecture, their own social facilities and landscaping. The quality of repairs from commercial developers is also higher than in buildings from the city,” says Maria Litinetskaya, managing partner, member of the CBRE partner network. She about. First of all, we are talking about “patriots of the area,” i.e., those buyers who are ready to move only within their area of residence, and therefore consider only local new buildings, without focusing on their quality level. “However, there are few such buyers on the market, so in general in the Moscow market, “renovation” houses will not compete with modern projects from large developers,” says Litinetskaya.
The Mosstroykompleks portal also published a “Memo on the procedure for purchasing residential premises (residential premises) for an additional payment,” which explains the procedure for purchasing apartments (or additional space).
According to the “Memo”, those displaced under the renovation program who want to increase their living space choose the housing they like and then submit an application to the capital’s Renovation Fund. A receipt for payment of the “security deposit” in the amount of 100,000 rubles is also submitted to the fund. and other documents - a list of them is also available on the Mosstroykompleks website.
After submitting an application, the fund reviews it within five working days. If during this period no one else applies for an apartment, then the only participant signs and pays for a contract for a new residential premises within 10 working days.
Apartment layouts according to the renovation program
The first thing that distinguishes “renovation” apartments and immediately catches your eye is the layout. A fairly wide corridor and hallway, a kitchen at least twice the area of kitchens in the notorious “Khrushchev” buildings and separate rooms are quite consistent with the idea of a comfortable life. Security and sound insulation from driveway life is ensured by a metal fireproof entrance door. Interior doors - made of timber or ply veneer - look very presentable. Windows and balcony groups are wooden or PVC with energy-saving coating and energy-saving double-glazed windows. By the way, some apartments have two balconies or a balcony and a loggia, the floors of which are laid with light porcelain stoneware.

In general, all the floors in new apartments are laid either with laminate - in living rooms and hallways, or with porcelain stoneware - in the toilet, bathroom, and in some apartments and in the kitchen. The floor is exclusively on a soundproofing substrate; by the way, this is also one of the requirements of modern landscaping standards. The walls are covered with non-woven wallpaper and equipped with modern recessed sockets and switches, and cable channels are provided in the baseboards.

Typically, one of the most expensive renovations is a kitchen renovation. However, in apartments under the renovation program, even a ceramic tile apron is already ready in the kitchens, along the entire length of the work surface wall. And yes, new residents are even provided with an electric stove and a stainless steel sink with a cabinet for it.

The toilet and bathroom in the new apartments are separate, and the walls are lined with light ceramic tiles up to the ceiling. The plumbing is of modern earthenware, a full-size steel bathtub with a length of at least 170 cm. Ceiling or wall-mounted moisture-resistant lamps are installed to illuminate these rooms.
General features of new housing
Depending on the square footage and number of rooms in new buildings, the layout of the apartments under the renovation program will also change. Despite this, one-, two-, three-, and 4-room apartments have several common features:
- Major repairs and finishing according to branded design projects;
- Balconies and loggias with beautiful wall decor and glazed facades;
- A typical home will be decorated from the inside with tiles, paintable vinyl wallpaper, and light-colored laminate;
- Heat and sound insulation;
- Ceilings with plinths, functional heating system, water and heat meters, plastic windows;
- Modern plumbing equipment, installed towel dryers, toilets, bathtubs, lamps:
- Electric stove in the kitchen and ceramic tile walls, kitchen sink and cabinet;
- Full power supply with installed switches and sockets;
- The presence of an intercom, interior doors with all related fittings.
Area of apartments for renovation
By the way, the lighting system is also well thought out - chandeliers for modern lamps are placed throughout the apartment, and light walls emphasize the volume of living spaces. The apartments are really quite large: for example, a one-room apartment with a living area of about 19 sq. m. m has a total area of about 38 square meters. m, and a standard “renovation” three-ruble ruble can reach a total area of 74 square meters. m at 45 sq. m residential.
In a word, the apartments provided under the renovation program are truly comfortable, not only and not so much in comparison with standard “Khrushchev” apartments. And to make sure that a standard apartment acquires its own “personality” is the job of the new residents. "Quartblog" will help.

Know-how of the renovation fund: auction for apartments
On February 21, 2020, at a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Sergei Sobyanin, the president instructed the mayor to continue the program of resettling five-story buildings in Moscow. This began the housing renovation program, which from the very beginning caused a lot of criticism and dissatisfaction among citizens. The Moscow authorities needed to show that they had done something over the past year. And then they arranged a demonstrative move-in “according to the renovation program” in the house at 5th Parkovaya Street, 62B (Northern Izmailovo), which was not built at all in connection with renovation, but according to the targeted investment program of Moscow 2020 and was intended for those on the waiting list for the area and residents houses in disrepair. But who cares when you have to report? Journalists, State Duma deputies, and Moscow officials were invited to the ceremonial display of the first settlement. Members of the renovation working group at the State Duma also arrived, among whom there are many opponents of the renovation program.
We recommend reading: How long does it take to register at your place of stay?
State Duma deputy Pyotr Tolstoy and members of the working group are met in the courtyard of the house by people with posters demanding to leave alone a children's rehabilitation hospital, the recently renovated building of which suddenly found itself on the site of a launching pad for renovation houses. And Tolstoy asks residents to suggest alternative locations for new buildings. Residents respond that there are large, good sites - they are currently occupied by garages, which “will still be demolished.” The residents are not particularly concerned about the fact that these garages are also someone else’s property. But in general, a strange situation is created when ordinary residents are asked to look for alternative options for launch sites, and not specialists who have access to all the maps of the area with underground communications diagrams - after all, not every piece of land can build a multi-story building.
