In the period from 1927 to 1931, Iofan designs and supervises the construction of a residential complex on Serafimovich Street (the house of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR) in Moscow - the so-called “Houses on the Embankment”. Iofan owns projects of the USSR pavilions at the World Exhibitions in Paris (1937) - served as a pedestal for the sculpture "Worker and Collective Farm Woman" by Vera Mukhina, - and in New York (1939) - served as a pedestal for the sculpture "Worker and Star" by Vyacheslav Andreev.
