The Printing plant of Ogonyok magazine designed by El Lissitzky is likely to be the only extant building based on the blueprints of this master. Located at 55.777277°N 37.610828°E / 55.777277; 37.610828 17, 1st Samotechny Lane, it is Lissitzky's sole tangible work of architecture. It was commissioned in 1932 by Ogonyok magazine to be used as a print shop. In June 2007 the independent Russky Avangard foundation filed a request to list the building on the heritage register. In September 2007 the city commission (Moskomnasledie) approved the request and passed it to the city government for a final approval, which did not happen. In October 2008, the abandoned building was badly damaged by fire. But next door developer Inteco has started preparations for construction of a new block of flats for the Film-Makers' Union.
In 2012, it was announced that the building would be restored and become part of a hotel complex.
