Description

Significantly mass-structured purist building. The three-storey house has a flat roof. On the second floor is placed a terrace. The basement due to the sloping terrain is used for living purposes on the street side. The rounded corners of the house on the southwest have ribbon windows. The southwest corner is laid out on two round pillars facing the street. A studio is placed on that position in the basement. The balconies on the ground floor and first floor are part of the inner structure of the house and alternate with the facade. This solution gives the house its elegant charm.
