The apartment building and nursery are a response to the complex urban context, legislative possibilities and the expectations of the developer. The composition of the distinctive detached house and its smaller version with a kindergarten responds to the off-axes network of street axes and vistas and to the complex traffic context. It is inspired by a pair of now defunct gasworks that defined the identity of the site for years. Reviving the memory of the site and connecting fragmented concepts into a comprehensible urban whole was the main ambition of the design.

The rational form of the house has a generous, open, internal atrium bringing light into its centre and compensating for the compact volume of the house. The atrium not only creates a dignified space for the home's circulation, but also conditions for the emergence of community awareness among the residents. The varied mix of dwelling sizes is reflected in the variability of the cladding, clad in Copilite glassblocks reminiscent of the industrial character of the area. The active ground floor of the building turned the former suburbia in urban space. The role of the kindergarten is then to define a strong link to the garden and transition to the park.
