The building above is located in an area of Bucharest developed in the late 1920s and throughout the 1930s, full of interesting Neo-Romanian, Art Deco and Modernist style buildings and street furnishing. This particular edifice is placed on an quite sharp angle street corner. I like the aesthetical architectural solution found by the inter-war designer in the form of a symmetrical façade flanked by tower-like structures, one of which (the right hand side one) wonderfully solves, through its circular profile, the design problem posed by the more unusual street corner.

I endeavor through this daily series of daily articles to inspire appreciation of the historic houses of Romania, a virtually undiscovered, but fascinating chapter of European architectural history and heritage.
