Illustration by Andrew Cadey

This brutalist residential building was built between 1968-1974 as experimental residences and offers another noteworthy example of Brutalist design, prevalent during the socialist era.

The angled plot in the bend of Medená Ulica, just a stone’s throw away from the Old Town, offered the possibility of an atypical residential solution. The architects, Štefan Svetko and Július seized this task in a creative way and designed an 8-storey apartment building of receding balcony loggias of different dimensions,  expanding upwards  and outwards to follow the shape of triangular plot, with a saw-tooth facade to the street.

A large commercial space was designed on the ground floor of the block and for many years was a musical instrument shop with excellent interiors, but now lies empty.

Limited first edition print run of 20
