Description:
The harmonious yet independent architecture of the new building does neither try to create an intentional contrast to the neighboring buildings nor does it want to chum up with them by using historical forms. The balanced correlation of vertical and horizontal elements in the plastered façade, that is covered with scratched square patterns, is dominated by a set of bay windows. All this reveals the conquest of the existing problems, evoked by the historical surrounding and the need to create a substantial housing space with ten flats, a corner shop and an underground car park.
