Residential buildings type I-521A

Expand Your Soviet Republic with Iconic I-521A Residential Buildings

Bring a piece of architectural history to your Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic with this mod introducing the distinguished I-521A series of residential buildings. These impressive 25-storey structures, once a common sight in Moscow’s burgeoning districts between the 1970s and 1990s, offer a unique aesthetic and increased housing capacity for your growing population.

A Glimpse into Soviet Construction Innovation

The I-521A series represents a significant step in Soviet urban development, notably being among the first serial residential buildings in the USSR to utilize a monolithic core constructed using sliding formwork. This innovative technique, combined with a frame-panel system (unified frame KMS-101), allowed for the rapid and efficient construction of these tall, imposing apartment blocks. Developed by MNIITEP with architectural input from R. Sarukhanyan, these buildings are more than just housing; they are a testament to the engineering prowess of the era.

Key Features of the I-521A Mod

This mod brings two prominent variations of the I-521A series to your game, each offering substantial living space and a respectable housing quality.

• I-521A-var1: This variant provides accommodation for 336 residents, boasting a housing quality rating of 86.
• I-521A-var2: Slightly larger, this version can house 340 residents, also with an excellent housing quality rating of 86.
