For this five-story building I was commissioned by the Condo Board to design the renovation of the hanging corridor, a conversion for the yard and the reconstruction of the gate vestibule. With hints of both Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, this gorgeous piece of architecture was built between 1909 and 1911 according to the designs of Béla Löffler and Sándor Löffler. Besides designing new reinforced slabs for the hanging corridors, we also paid attention to preserving and refurbishing the original handrails and to the installation of new flooring. In the yard we created paved and landscaped green surfaces, along with a new water fountain. The gate vestibule was intended to be reconstructed with a definite Art Deco vibe. The Condo Board has yet to award the works to contractors, which is rather unfortunate because the hanging corridors are in danger of collapsing, while the yard and the vestibule will continue to deteriorate for years to come.
