Residential and commercial block — nicknamed Swedish
It is the first building in Cracovian architecture which, after the period of Socialist Realism, returns to the Modern Movement traditions of CIAM and to the Corbusian urban idea of linking architecture to verdure. It was marked by the colour scheme of external plasters which caused immediate associations with Swedish architecture, resulting from the architects’ voyage to Sweden. Noteworthy here are the elaborated divisions of elevations with composition of loggias and balustrades and an arcade or passage with conical columns. The shape of the building is angular and in its shorter part glazed ground floor spaces meant for commercial uses can be found. This ground floor part is markedly cut off by protruding cornices and glazed shop fronts are slightly cantilevered from the face of the wall, reaching out to the pavement.
