Description
View of the entrance to the People's Federal Savings & Loan in Royal Oak, Michigan, designed by Birkets & Straub. "This small concrete building is symmetrical in plan, however, completely asymmetrical in the exterior wall development and structure. Vertical structure is flanking the openings through the wall and the light diffusing corners. Roof is separated from walls by a layer of glass of varying depth,"--Gunnar Birkerts : buildings, projects, and thoughts, 1960-1985, by Gunnar Birkerts.
