This house was built in 1929 in Krivoarbatsky Lane and was planned to live in it by the architect himself. Currently, Melnikov's creation is officially recognized as an architectural monument, but experts still find it difficult to accurately determine the style in which this unusual house was created.

The design of the house is unusual both outside and inside. Among the ancient buildings of Krivoarbatsky Lane, it amazes with its futuristic appearance. In plan, the building consists of two three-story cylinders, “built” one into the other by a third of the volume and dotted with numerous hexagonal windows. On the ground floor there was a dining room and kitchen, children's rooms and a dressing room. The first floor is divided between a living room and a bedroom. The living room has a huge octagonal screen window. On the top floor there is a workshop, illuminated by 38 windows, and an outdoor solarium terrace.

After the death of the architect, the house passed to his heirs, and in the early 2000s, the son of Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov Vladimir Konstantinovich (also a famous architect) bequeathed his part of the house as a gift to the state for setting up a museum in it. By the end of the 20th century, the house was dilapidated, cracks appeared in its walls, and there was an urgent need for its restoration. But due to litigation of the heirs, the official status of the house remained uncertain for a long time. Only in 2014, it was decided to arrange a museum in the building dedicated to the creative activities of Melnikov's father and son. Employees of the Shchusev Museum of Architecture took an active part in its organization.

Today, the house is still not in the best condition, but it offers excursions (only by prior registration and for small groups, so you need to sign up a month in advance). Restoration work is scheduled to begin in 2021.
