Compared to the previously cited work by the same author, this Bratislava apartment block, dating from 1930, is surprisingly purist. Formally, it is highly simple, with only a slight bend in the western facade. All that enlivens the elementary simplicity is the cylindrical volume of the staircase in the courtyard section and the loggia in the garden facade, a feature that from this point on appeared regularly in Konrad’s designs. In each floor was one three-room and one four-room flat; the rooftop penthouse contains a flat with atelier; the parterre contained two shops and one flat of three rooms. The building bears all of the features of mature Purist architecture.
