One of the last and best examples of constructivism in Leningrad is the LenSoviet block of flats on Naberezhnaya Karpovki (Karpovka Embankment) No. 13 for city and party leaders, which was realized by Fomin and JA Lewinson 1931–1933. The building was furnished with comfortable apartments with built-in furniture and bathrooms, terraces, open galleries and a solarium on the roof, and there was a kindergarten, a laundry and a shop.
