House Tower

Of course, building a new building is much easier and cheaper. But there are enthusiasts who are engaged in a less noticeable, but more interesting occupation is the renovation of old buildings.

Creative ingenuity was shown by the agency Zecc Architects, which transformed the building of the old water tower, built in 1931, into a modern ten-storey residential building. The main problem during the reconstruction was the lack of daylight, as the tower had only a few small windows. It was decided to insert a huge three-level stained glass window with minimal interference in the construction of the building.

Steel, concrete, as well as industrial style of structures have been preserved, so the living quarters have a peculiar interior. To soften its industrial style, the designers used practical simple furniture. Even the location of the rooms is different from the others, because they are all connected by stairs.
