Although this building has apparently very limited decoration consisting mainly in that of the stairs tower’s parallel window strips and a series of curvatures on the building corner and balconies, it nevertheless emanates a strong sense of high quality design accomplishment, often a hallmark of inter-war Bucharest architecture, in many aspects ahead of its time. I very much like the gates, on the left hand side of the image, together with the block’s doorway provided with a simple rectangular awning, all seamlessly integrated within this inclusive beautiful architectural composition.

Thank you very much for this. The building is a great example of the concept of “less is more” and also simply a beautiful piece of work. Modernist buildings so often can be beautiful in their apparent simplicity and overall composition.
