‘Colourful House’ Residential Building
The building was originally recognisable by its colourful elevation which was designed as such in Krakow for the first time after the period of Socialist Realism. The Modernist elevation had characteristic, intense Mondrian hues: white, yellow, red, blue. It is a consciously applied colour composition whereby the structure is marked with the black colour. Currently, following the recent thermal insulation, the colour scheme was reintroduced. Tectonics of expressively protruding balconies which are fully screened at their fronts and have openwork, horizontal divisions at their sides complements the structural grid of the elevation. The building is crowned by a recessed floor. An open drive leads through the ground floor into the green interior of the Modernist urban block.
