The monolithic character of the building volume is broken by mirroring the adjacent houses. As a result, volumes in brick alternate in the street with garden fences made of steel slats. Five houses are accessed through the northern road, five through the southern road. Next to the residences to the east there is space for a public playfield. The site redefines and structures the entire neighbourhood on a human scale.
