Children’s World
Children’s World

The light-blue nine-story residential buildings with the “Children’s World” store, constructed in 1970–1971, are well-recognized and loved by Tashkent residents — it’s hard to imagine the city center without them.

Project authors: architects A. G. Rochegov, V. V. Steyskal, V. M. Ginzburg, Yu. V. Raninsky, M. A. Firsov, and V. V. Khandzhi; engineers V. R. Feigelman and V. Rostavanov.

After the earthquake, the narrow Pervomayskaya Street (now Shahrisabz Street) was widened and connected the extended Navoi and Shota Rustaveli avenues, forming one of the city center’s main transport arteries.

The buildings located on Ts-1 and Ts-2 form distinctive “gates” for Mustaqillik Avenue (formerly Pushkin Street).

The residential buildings were constructed without conventional stairwell landings; instead, external galleries serving six apartments each were installed. The blue tile cladding on the facades gives the buildings a festive and airy appearance.

In Soviet times, “Children’s World” was the main store for toys, stationery, sports equipment, children’s clothing, and footwear. Today, its premises are occupied by various organizations.
