COMMUNITY

a Helmer before Fellner & Helmer. the only project signed in his own name, before the creation of the historical partnership

a significant project for marking the stylistic transition of the arch. H. Helmer and especially for defining his own identitary specificities

the swan with the spread wings can be found in various forms in the projects signed by Fellner & Helmer. it is present here, too, protecting the building from the top of the lateral facade
