The apartment block on Račianská Street is a reconstruction and extension of the original building with apartments for employees of the neighbouring printing house Svornosť. The original building had only small apartments, which were rearranged into a varied mix of accommodation through the reconstruction. A new grid of windows visually connects the original block and the new extension into one volume. Long continuous loggia balconies were added on the courtyard elevation. Two large apartments with roof terraces are situated on the top floor. A new elevator and modifications in the lower entrance lobby enabled a barrier-free access from the street. The apartment block is the first stage of the planned reconstruction of the former Svornosť printing works complex, which itself will be transformed into loft apartments.
