It is no secret that in the Soviet Union it was common to build predominantly five- and nine-story buildings.
However, for what exact reason did such a tradition exist?
Professional designer Julia Tychino shed light on the explanation of this phenomenon.
According to the expert, there was a specific intent in the construction of such multi-story buildings.
Five floors
Government bodies of those years sought to save money as much as possible.
Five-story buildings were built primarily for workers; to save money, they lacked an elevator or garbage chute.
Nine floors
In this case, the construction of this type of house was driven primarily by the desire for convenience.
The fact is that the length of a standard mechanized ladder of a fire engine was approximately equal to the height of a nine-story building. In case of an emergency, such a ladder was easily used to evacuate residents of a "nine-story building".
