The Lensovet House is one of the "specialists' houses."

The Lensovet House is one of the "specialists' houses" created for the city's party elite.

This building was created for the party nomenclature elite of the city. There were a total of 76 apartments of various sizes, with the number of rooms ranging from 2 to 6, equipped with bathrooms and built-in furniture. Some apartments were two-story, with oak staircases leading to the second floor. The project included plans for a mechanical laundry, a hairdresser, a shop, a solarium, and rooms for service personnel. The original project also envisioned the creation of a street and the construction of a pedestrian bridge over the Karpovka River.

The composition of the building is based on the contrast of three main volumes: a central (concave) one and two rectangular side volumes, arranged asymmetrically. The building contains 76 apartments of various sizes, with the number of rooms ranging from two to six, featuring bathrooms and built-in furniture made of polished walnut. The original project included a mechanical laundry, a hairdresser, a shop, a rooftop solarium, rooms for service personnel, and plans for a pedestrian bridge over the Karpovka River.

"The residential building on the Karpovka River in Leningrad by architects Levinson and Fomin appears to be a significant phenomenon. The house is built very well and with great attention. The composition itself addresses the issue of spatial and ensemble solutions, which is especially valuable in residential architecture. In the details, there is still some lingering influence of constructivist modernism."
