The residential tower fixes the axis of symmetry of the urban block and accents the cour d'honneur of the gymnasium on the opposite side of the street. The public square in front of the old building, which had fallen into disrepair, is moved to the center of the block and becomes an reason for the development of its core.

The shape of the tower results in insolation restrictions and the desire for the slender proportions of classical high-rise buildings. Symmetrical risalites step down to the ground, create an active silhouette and accentuate the scale of the existing building. The strict material facade emphasizes the elite class of housing and reinforces the existing character of this central neighborhood.
