What is "house-commune"

A house-commune was an architectural and social movement in early Soviet Union of 1920-1930s.

The purpose of the house-communes was to get rid of "the yoke of the household economy".

The idea of a house-commune is borrowed from phalanstères of utopian socialists. In 1928 Tsentrozhilsoyuz issued the "Typical Statute of the House-Commune" , which called for communal education of children, food preparation, household chores and recreation.
