As an architect, Brjullow became known for his buildings in St. Petersburg and the surrounding area. 1831-1832 he built the St. Petersburg Mikhailovsky Theater, the neo-Gothic Peter and Paul Church in Pargolowo for Countess Varvara Petrovna Shuwalova and the house of Countess Samoilova in Slavyanka and the Lutheran Church of St. Peter on Nevsky Prospect . In the same year he was appointed professor of architecture for his project of a magnificent church in the classical style.

The palace gallery with Pompeian ornaments was a particular success .
