The complex of 6 buildings of 5 storeys was laid out in the vicinity of the Słowackiego Avenue and it contributes to the metropolitan character of the area. It was built on the grounds adjacent to the Military Hospital, following the competition that was won by a Varsovian architect. The officers’ house (7 Śląska St.) is the most representational one. It has a beautiful sculptural decoration in the tympanum and overdoors at the passages to the internal courtyard, as well as sizeable pergolas above terraces in the external axes. In front of this main building a small square was laid out.
The architecture of the whole complex is adequately composed in the spirit of Classicising Modernism.
