The Sixth Settlement, also known as Sotsmisto, is an architectural ensemble near DniproHES. Its residential and public buildings show the transition from Constructivism to monumental post-war architecture within a compact district.
A landmark is the Round House, shaped as an open circle. The Lavrov buildings of 1936 combine flat façades and circular windows with ancient Near Eastern motifs. The outpatient complex includes a clinic, dispensary and pharmacy clad in dark pink Armenian tuff.
Four communal houses designed by Olha Yafa stand along Metalurhiv Avenue. They reflect the idea of collective domestic life: the outer buildings use tuff, while the central ones have white plaster. Post-war landmarks include Kozliner’s seven-storey tower of 1949 and the 47-metre tower on the coke plant’s building, completed in 1951.
The district’s heritage also includes the regional philharmonic building, a monument to industrial Zaporizhzhia and a sculpture of film character Sasha Savchenko, played by Mykola Rybnykov. Green courtyards and public spaces complete this experiment in urban planning.

In 1928, an experimental socialist-city project began to take shape near DniproHES, then under construction. The chosen area extended from the dam to Verkhnia Street. Architects Viktor Vesnin, Heorhii Orlov, Mykola Kolli and Vitalii Lavrov contributed to the design.
They envisaged a garden city with comfortable public spaces. Courtyards were planned with playgrounds, stages and fountains. The main construction phase of 1929–1932 developed alongside the hydroelectric station and metallurgical complex.
Early buildings followed Constructivism, with the Round House as a striking example. Classical motifs and monumental post-war buildings later altered the district’s appearance. The Second World War brought near-total destruction; historical accounts cite only six habitable buildings in 1945. Reconstruction created the combination of architectural periods that characterises the district.
