The “H”-shape plan of building creates two external courtyards. The northern one has a public character and function of the city square. The southern is located from residential side. The recessed part of west elevation refer to next-door “Maraton Gardens” buildings line. This made it possible to keep the orderly urban development. Different widths of vertical facade elements and regular rhythm of panels bring out horizontal articulations and optically stretch the main elevation.
