This is an interesting design solution for flats on a narrow site. The street facade is dominated by a half circle stairwell articulated by steel framed vertical windows (with etched glass in horizontal pattern), and two horizontal render bands. Doors to each flat have etched glass panels. [1-Heritage database]
