This residential building,
of which the architect has remained unknown, has been built in a “Streamline
Moderne” style. It is a perfect example of naval and industrial architecture
forms which influenced Art Deco from 1930. Indeed, the facade presents a
central triple circular element with a triangular form similar to a boat
chimney.
The elevation is
characterized by its variety of balconies that feature circular and streamline
forms, as well as ogee arches and linear decoration. There is a real contrast
with the impression of height due to the central longitudinal element and the
curved and horizontal lines of the balconies.
