The sheet metal of the roof shell covers the attic spaces of the two-storied apartment in Bratislava. The strip window is the only communication tool towards the street. The green balcony visually isolates the openness of the living and kitchen spaces separated from the street line only by glassed wall. The compact staircase is the main figure inside. It gives access to the gallery and upper level that seems floating in the space of double height. Vallo and Sadovský architects offer new reality, a world apart from what really exists down there in the city. Maria Topolčanská
