The metalwork is made up of simplified, geometric floral forms referring to the original decoration: semi-circular floral rosettes made of stone, flanking the fifth-storey window of the neighbouring fa\u00e7ade. The decoration is a development of the one on the front of the 62\/63 Ogarna Street building.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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>Jacek Wielebski<\/strong> graduated from the Faculty of Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gda\u0144sk.
