Life
Tschewakinski, son of a noble family , was admitted to the St. Petersburg Naval Academy in 1729 . In 1734 he left the academy and joined the Izmailovsky life guard regiment . However, by order of the Admiralty College, he was expelled from the regiment for leaving the academy without authorization. He then began an apprenticeship with the architect Ivan Korobow , with whom he stayed for 7 years. He was responsible for building a house at 58 Galerna Street in St. Petersburg.
In 1739 Tschewakinski began to work as a self-employed architect. In 1741 he became chief architect of the Admiralty College. From 1745 to 1760 he was an architect in Tsarskoe Selo , where he directed work on the restoration of the palace park ensemble . He built the castle church and the great hall, the associated galleries with the central part of the castle, the non-preserved hunting pavilion Mon Bijou and houses for the service personnel. He was involved in the Hermitage Pavilion . During this time he learned from Francesco Rastrelli , who also worked in Tsarskoe Selo.
As the naval chief architect, Tschewakinski built warehouses for shipbuilding timber on the St. Petersburg island of New Holland and created the development plan for Kronstadt . In St. Petersburg he built the Nicholas Naval Cathedral in 1753–1762 and the separate stepped bell tower in 1756–1758. For Count Ivan Shuvalov he built a splendid aristocratic palace from 1749–1756, and together with Fyodor Argunow he built the St. Petersburg Sheremetev Palace on the Fontanka for Count Pyotr Sheremetew from 1750–1755 . The house built for Count Pyotr Sheremetev on Millionnaya Street has not survived.
From 1755 to 1758, Tschewakinsky was also the architect of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences . Vasily Baschenow and Ivan Starow studied with him . Tschewakinski restored the fire-damaged tower of the St. Petersburg Art Chamber . In addition to the large buildings in St. Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo, he also built churches in the provinces from 1764–1767, such as the church on the Trubezkoi country estate in Dylizy (Tillitsa) in the Gatchinsky rajon and the Archangel Michael Church of the Imperial Court in the village Chotilow near Bologoje , which have since fallen into disrepair.
In 1767, at the beginning of the classicism era in Russia, Tschewakinsky retired and settled in his country estate. He found his grave in Vydropushsk near Spirowo in the family crypt next to the church of the Smolensk Icon of Our Lady , which he had built himself.
