The distinctive buildings of the Bogkucha housing estate were designed by architects G. Korobtsev, S. Adylov, I. Koptelova, L. Adamov and A. Mukhamedshin, with engineers T. Shakhsvaryan and Ye. Chincheva.

The project is remarkable for two objects.

The first is a row of nine-storey blocks whose end façades face Birusniy Avenue. These ends are decorated with orange-toned mosaics by the Zharsky brothers. The nine-storey buildings are connected by a low block containing everyday and cultural services: grocery and vegetable shops, a café, household appliance store, pharmacy, dry-cleaner, post office, fashion atelier, and workshops for shoe and appliance repair. This same block once housed the very popular “Guncha” children’s cinema. Construction period: 1973–1977.

The second unusual object is an experimental four-storey 60-apartment building with 5- and 6-room flats and large terraces. According to the architects’ concept, these apartments for large families were intended to replicate the living conditions “on the ground” typical of traditional mahallas. The spacious terraces evoked mahalla courtyards — one could place topchans there and cook food. Families relocated from old-city mahallas slated for demolition were settled here. However, the project remained experimental and was not developed further for a number of reasons.
