The object visually replaced the earlier built house-arch on Klimashkina Street. Architects repeated the solution already found earlier. The new building which is situated ahead also became to have an aperturecoinciding with the Roman Catholic church axis.

 

The coexistence of the objects standing quite close is possible if each object has its own pronounced characteristics. As distinct from the traditional wall tectonics of the house-arch, the new house has completely glass facades which are continuously changing with lighting, but sometimes they simply vanish against the sky when on the front plane there are only the floating colour rectangles. The church assumed the updated «back»looking sometimes like a mirage, besides the newly formed yard space inherited certain lines of the previousone - having the small sizes and thanks to the enfilade of apertures the yard is perceived as large.
