The polygonal building form places two individual structures on the steep terrain, which widens towards the valley. Access is via playfully bent paths with slabbed surfaces in the green spaces on the slope side, which become a social meeting place with integrated benches. In both buildings, the apartments are accessed via a central core, which allows two or three apartments per floor, which in turn benefit from the orientation of the structure.
The balconies captivate by their three-sided free cantilevered corner setting. Depending on the program, the windows are set room-high or private spandrel-high and are combined in terms of design by means of offset, rough exterior plaster layers. The structures are embedded in the hillside with a discreetly differentiated steel-tone base.
