In 2017, the fa\u00e7ade underwent a complete renovation as part of the \u2018Gda\u0144skie Fasady OdNowa\u2019 project, aimed at improving the quality of public spaces in the Main Town by adding architectural decorations to buildings that had been overlooked during Gda\u0144sk\u2019s reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>The fa\u00e7ade decoration is based on a painted intervention filling the interstorey space with repeated fragments of circles radiating outward like sound waves. By basing the frieze compositions on tonal gradients, the design creates an illusion of three-dimensionality. Additionally, the fa\u00e7ade features decorative vertical rectangles flanking the windows, evoking associations with pilasters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> 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> Justyna Posiecz-Polkowska graduated from the Faculty of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gda\u0144sk.
