From the Agent: "The premises are spread over four levels. In terms of design, the original architecture has been preserved and the interiors were updated in 2012. Everything shines in white as a perfect background for art. The steel girders and beams that were installed at the time also fit in here in terms of color. All floors on the upper levels were given a surface made of gray epoxy resin, and the intended loft character is further reinforced by the open floor plan." 

The modernist home extends a warm welcome with its period aesthetic. "The appearance of the 1960s architecture immediately comes to life upon arrival, as the exterior is in perfect condition as if it had just been built," notes the agent.
