An elegant apartment house

Description

The very elegant house is on the one hand clearly structured, with some accents it also has a playful touch. The arrangement of the windows as ribbon windows appears very clear. The playfulness of the rows of windows is achieved by the fact that the middle window is always inserted a little lower. The charm of the house is also enhanced by the balconies, giving the house its lightness. The metal constructions on the balconies are reminiscent of the constructivist style. Due to the location on the corner, the two facades on the streets are relatively long. At the back, however, there is hardly any space for a courtyard and thus the house has hardly any rooms on the quiet side. The top floor is set back. The architectural solution appears very elegant as well, as the roof terraces are barely visible from the street, allowing the residents a small, more intimate space.

The shop at the corner is currently not used.
