Two small wharf buildings on both Danube river banks in Bratislava for a regular ferry travelling from one side of the river to the other were designed by a young architect Emil Bellus. Both pier stations had a waiting area and a booth for ticket sales. Both wharfs are one-storey structures in functionalist spirit, sensibly addressing the operation. Presently the left bank wharf has been converted to the concept of architect J. Bahna, with a restaurant inside.
