Notes
"The novelties of the building include the flat slab floor with three meters cantilevers and the use of local mahogany boxes for sun shading." (Osman)
"Unfortunately, the building has been heavily modified. It is hard to recognize its original shape, yet the cantilevered slabs are still there." (Ibrahim Z. Bahreldin)
