In 2017, the fa\u00e7ade underwent a major refurbishment under the \u2018Gda\u0144skie Fasady OdNowa\u2019 project, which aimed to improve the quality of public spaces in G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto by adding architectural decoration to existing buildings that were omitted during Gda\u0144sk\u2019s reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>The biaxial fa\u00e7ade received a watercolour painting decoration, in pastel colours with dominant elements in oranges contrasting with the blue of the plaster. In the strip between the first and second storeys, roundels with images of lions were placed on the fa\u00e7ade\u2019s axis. Between the second and third storeys, there are squares approaching the outer edges of the windows: the western one with an abstract chequerboard, the eastern one with a lion\u2019s paw on a chequerboard. Between the third and fourth floors, there are tondos approaching the inner edges of the windows: the western one with a lion\u2019s paw, the eastern one with a crown. Two lion\u2019s heads facing each other are placed between the fourth storey and the attic in the central part. The entire design is crowned with floral motifs separating the panels on the attic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The buildings are in an area designated as a heritage site. They form part of the historic urban layout of the city of Gda\u0144sk. Ogarna Street was destroyed in 1945 during the war. It was rebuilt on the basis of the so-called Zachwatowicz plan that envisaged the reconstruction of historical forms, which was only feasible in the form of a workers\u2019 housing estate. The erected block of flats was covered by a historicist fa\u00e7ade screen. The buildings thus created were the result of combining two houses into a complex with a common staircase, an entrance from the courtyard and an even top line of windows emphasising the block-like nature of the premise. The elevations were not completed with architectural decoration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information about the author: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wilga Badowska<\/strong> graduated from the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Gda\u0144sk.
