The original residential building is often called the architectural pearl of the Arbat: the bright facade of the building is decorated with luxurious balconies, rich stucco molding and magnificent porticos, and the interior of the building is decorated with exquisite paintings reminiscent of multi-layered Venetian plaster.

The Pompeian house caused a lot of trouble for both the designer and future owners: this very land plot was repeatedly bought by different owners and at some point everyone thought that the building it will never be completed. However, the circumstances were successful, and an unusual structure was born.

It is noteworthy that the building is located in the city center — not far from it there are stunning architectural and cultural monuments, including the Tsvetaeva and Lermontov museums and the Pushkin Apartment on the Arbat.
