Object:<\/strong> One of two historicising fa\u00e7ades covering a residential block constructed as part of Gda\u0144sk’s post-war reconstruction. In 2014, 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

The decoration of the three-bay western fa\u00e7ade is based on a painted pattern composed of geometric forms in earthy tones with turquoise accents. The dominant elements are two bright triangles: the first positioned at the level of the second storey, and the second between the third and fourth storeys. Both shapes give the impression of emerging from behind the window openings. Above the second and third storeys are two rectangles made up of repeated diagonal lines, with the upper rectangle partially overlapping the top triangle. The gable is adorned with a parallelogram and a trapezoid, placed within the outline of the gable and resembling the shape of the Greek letter lambda.<\/p>\n

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
