With a birth of the Soviet state a new social system started to form which stimulated the search of new forms of living space and emerging of new types of buildings, such as transition-type houses, residential facilities and house-communes. These types of buildings have not been widely spread in real practice due to their utopian nature. However, the ideas of collective daily routine of the 1920s ended up viable and productive if not taken in radical forms. Thus, the architectural practice of one of the largest southern Russian cities Rostov-on-Don has managed to acquire reasonable balance which determined vitality of a new social idea of collective dwelling for many years to come.
