See you, dear visitors! You are standing in front of the most popular apartment building in Medená street in Bratislava-Star Town - one of the most important examples of the New Classicist architecture in our country. His majestic currents, symmetry composition and elegant details will immediately show you that this house is not a home but also a symbol of the past. Understand that this house was built in the first half of the 20th century, when New Classicism in Bratislava reached its peaks. Its architecture is typical for this era - it combines elements of ancient classicism with modern elements that reflect respect for the past by the builders at the time, but also a modern view of life. The currents of windows, cut-out windows and decorative elements on the facade tell you how these homes were used in the past. Look up to the first floor - see how windows alternate with decorative pillars that give the house its distinctive appearance. You will also notice how the facade alternates with a smaller rizalite, which is typical for classical architecture. This house is almost symmetrical, which is typical of these buildings, which were often located in city centres. There were several prominent personalities living or working here. For example, some of them were private owners who built an ideal home for their lives here. Some of them were also important traders or cultural workers who influenced the life in Bratislava with their activities here. One of the most interesting mysteries is whether this house has ever been used as an apartment building for residents who lived here in 20. centuries. Some historical sources say that in some years there could be housing units for workers who worked here. However, this is not entirely clear, because there are no signs of such use that could confirm it. Let's move to the floor where the entrance to the house is located. Look at the details of the window that are cut out and have decorative edge elements. These details are typical of these types of houses that were built in the 20th century. Note how the window opening is beautified and how this house had its distinctive appearance in the past. There are several historical sources in this area that can give you more information about this site. For example, some sources say that there was also a small library or club for residents in some times. This could be one of the ways this house was used in the past. The commitment would be that this house is not an architectural monument, but also a living story about our past.
