Until 2012, there was a famous garden restaurant on that spot. It seems the shape of the new building will retain the spot's fame; people are not indifferent, and tend to look in its direction while walking or driving.<br />DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-78971585624640285622016-03-07T16:29:53.646+02:002016-03-07T16:29:53.646+02:00Wouldn't that be tricky, indoors.

After all, people have been living in rectangular houses for centuries, and they like it that way. A house like this in the village or in the city, can easily have additions, and more than one door - which is important to family and guests.
