Three free-standing buildings, designed by the local architects Burkhard Meyer, occupy the southern part of a site of industrial fallow area, the so-called Merker Area, in the center of Baden.
 The typology of the new constructions reflects the chracteristic pattern of individual houses of the early 20th century along the Martinsbergstrasse. Of these three buildings,
only two were constructed in the first phase. The third and last building was constructed a few years later. The access to the buildings is made individually from
the street through a forecourt, surrounded by concrete walls and hedges. The street in the rearward area is located an a lower level and gives acces to garages and basements.
In this direction, the buildings open towards the adjacent park and the city. At this place the sloping terrain exposes the base, so that the buildings appear contiguously placed
an a common base, while on the upper side they are perceived as solitaires. On the lower side, there is created a spatial sequence of alternating carports and garages as a base
for the complex. The alternating rhythm of closed and open spaces is vice-versa responded with building volumes and voids, creating a strong connection between upper and lower part.
The private outdoor spaces, are covered with pebbles as an interpretation of urban living, and limited towards the road with walls. The buildings are considered as stacked family homes,
so that every volume contains four to five residential units, organised around a central access core. This central core divides the apartments into a living and dining zone with great ceiling height,
 and a bedroom zone with ordinary ceiling height. The living area, which stretches over the entire depth of the house from façade to façade, alternates on each floor from one side
of the core to the other, and takes advantege of the lower level bedrooms with lesser ceiling height. A homogeneous, continuous exposed brickwork on one hand and
green colored concrete elements on the other hand create an external primary support structure which at the same time constitutes the skin of the townhouses.
Thanks to the inertia of these massive constructions, the climatic conditions on the interior are pleasant both in summer and winter.
