| Discussion | Portois & Fix Store Commentary
“The entrance on the right led directly to the sales rooms, while the passage on the left led to the rear courtyard and the furniture storeroom in the back building. Since the passageway cut through the ground floor, this latter was reached via the mezzanine level. The shop façade was clad in polished Swedish granite, the three following storeys with an orthogonal mosaic of light green and brownish ‘pyrogranite’ tiles. The top floor containing the workshops was given a Parisian-style sheet metal roofing.” — Peter Gössel and Gabriele Leuthäuser. Architecture in the Twentieth Century. p62. | ||||
