While the drawings show an array of seven units, there were realized only five units. Each unit consists of a basement with garage and services and two further floors containing the living rooms. The top floor is occupied by the bedrooms, while the first floor contains the day zones with acces to a balcony towards the road and an intimate garden with a lawn to the back side. |
