This project exemplifies the symbiosis of maximum economy, high design standards, and the highest functional adaptability. Excepting only the core sanitary infrastructure, the apartments created allow for a completely flexible division of space. In addition, due to the project’s especially economical construction, it was possible to fully glaze the street side of each apartment.
