In St. Petersburg, they plan to open a creative space in the Bryullov house on the Kadetskaya line V.O., 21.
According to Delovoy Peterburg, LLC I Want to Be Your Canary will be engaged in the restoration of the building.
Bryullov’s mansion stood idle for a long time. A year ago, it was put up for auction under the “Rent for the Ruble” program, under the terms of which the tenant (LLC “I want to be your canary”) is obliged to restore the object in 7 years.
Up to 200 million rubles may be required to put the neglected building in order, Alexander Basalygin, the founder of BS Art Development Group, said at a meeting of the presidium of the St. Petersburg GO VOOPIiK.
It is expected that catering and retail establishments will be located on the ground floor. In addition, offices will be located in the building.
The project as a whole aroused the support of city defenders. “The worst thing is when the building is without an owner. Any worst host is better. If the most barbarian, the vandal, turned on the heat and stuffed the windows with plywood, then he’s already done well,” said architect Nikita Yavein. “It seems that we are not coordinating any extensions, superstructures, the construction of eight-story houses in the courtyard, a large amount of showdowns with incomprehensible goals – you can already calm down.”
