The very rational concept behind this building’s design arranges apartments around a cross: from the second to the seventeenth floor there are four larger apartments on the outside and four smaller apartments on the inside, their floor plans mirrored along a north-south or east-west orientation. Kitchens and bathrooms are kept small in favor of living space. By way of the two shafts that are given light via the glass bricks on the rears of the recessed loggias, the stairwells and secondary rooms are provided with natural light and air. The entire building has only two different window sizes.

Building
  • High-rise with 17 floors and 131 apartments
  • Length 30 m, width 19 m, height 53.5 m
  • On the ground and first floors, space for commercial use; the second to the 17th floors house four 2 1/2-room apartments (55 sqm) and four 1-room apartments (36 sqm)
  • All apartments have a loggia
  • The stairwell, elevators, corridors, and light shafts are located on the inside along the north-south axis
Construction
  • Slabs and pillars of reinforced concrete as bearing elements with curtain wall façades
  • A pillow-like floor plan: the east-west façade is concave with protruding loggias
  • The north-south façade is convex with recessed loggias
  • Bright façades on the east and west sides with ceramictiles
  • Exposed concrete and contrasting red pillars on the north and south sides
