Moscow 29-storey Monolith

Description
The building of this mod is inspired by a building in Eastern Moscow that dominates the landscape of the Preobrazhenskoye district (exact address provided by Comrade doctorwolf1).
It is the tallest residential building of the Soviet era to my knowledge.
It has 26 apartment floors, 2 ground floors, and 1 top floor usually meant for artisan workshops. So-called 'monolith' buildings were introduced in Brezhnev's days to break the monotony of Khruschovka dominated districts, and serve as landmarks and reference points within the urban landscape. Although most were standardized series and usually ~16 storeys high, this present one is to my understanding a single project.

Houses 420 adults at 95pc quality. Very expensive to build (a lot of steel required for concrete reinforcement, and mechanical components for its elevators).


WARNING: It's a heavy model due to its size and level of detail. I recommend that it is used in the way Soviet doctrine proposed: as a unique construction in your city dominating its landscape and serving as a landmark, instead of producing a asphyxiating jungle out of it, as is commonly the case in many metropolitan hellscapes of Capitalism.

An LOD decreasing the number of tris more than 100x was added.

hehe thanks ^^
Maybe it's better that you get to enjoy its full glory only once you've built it ^^

A really great mod. and for high-rise buildings, there are also buildings of the E-187 series (up to 25 floors), they are completely made of monolith by sliding formwork, following the example of how television towers or factory pipes are built. In particular, the buildings that I modeled (in this way, the 25-storey towers of the E-187 project in Zelenograd were made, and then the panels and other facade elements were hung on top of the monolithic part of the building). Sorry for my English

So much knowledge *.*

So these 2 towers in Dnipropetrovsk are entirely made in poured concrete?
I'd love to see the plans of the other project, if you have them or can easily find them, could you send them to me on discord?

Off the top of my head, the tallest (realised) residential block of fully monolithic construction was two 28-9 storey tower blocks [www.google.com] built in Dnipropetrovsk (at Peremogi embankment, south bank of the river) around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union, at a site intended also for a local community centre complex that was never completed.
