The company was founded in 2003 in St. Petersburg. Originally it was a "Personal Creative Architectural Workshop", created by architects-restorers who worked in the State Hermitage. Now "ACM Group" is a company of professional restorers, operating in many cities and regions of Russia - St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, Moscow, Astrakhan, Kaliningrad, Norilsk, in the Republics of Crimea and Karelia, the Chechen Republic, the Republic of Ingushetia and the Republic of Sakha, as well as carrying out international restoration projects in Europe and the Republic of Uzbekistan. According to the company's projects, more than 160 monument buildings have been restored.

The former Polovtsov riding hall building at 12 Kryukov Canal Embankment in St. Petersburg has been designated a regional heritage site.

The building was constructed in 1889 based on a design by architect Maximilian Mesmacher for Senator Alexander Polovtsov, Secretary of the State Council, and his wife, Nadezhda Mikhailovna, the adopted daughter of Baron Alexander von Stieglitz.

Alexander Polovtsov was a horse lover and connoisseur. The building housed a riding arena for training, horse riding lessons, and periodic dressage competitions.

After 1910, at various times, it housed a small theater, an operetta theater, and an arts center. From 1946, the building was occupied by the Leningrad Film Chronicle Studio.
