Another House of the Professors is as spectacular as the earlier one, but more in the style of the cubic Modernism or Art Dèco. It also has a very interesting decoration. The exposed location of the six-storey building is accentuated by the two, half-cylindrical, cantilevered forms in the corner. White elevations were adorned by black ceramic tiles: in the ground floor, around window frames, along the vertical lines of the main mass and in the rectangular pattern on the recessed top floor. The architects demonstrated masterly skills in solving plans on a triangular plot: there were two apartments on each storey. They were served by two staircases – the main and rear (external) one – as well as by a lift.
