No one wanted to buy it,and the public sector would not invest to change it into a park: a lot remained bereft of life for a long time.

The elevation of this building takes the shape of the triangle plot.
It is a triangular residential complex of 13 meters height with the base line 23m x height 12m x oblique line 26m.
It is a typical tenanted apartment house with seven rooms, 1-3rd two units on each floor and one on the 4th floor.
Each room　is composed of a living room of 13 m2, two bed rooms with 13 m2 and 9m2, a prefabricated bathroom, a kitchen system and a toilet. They are planned to be easy to rent for town people......more
