The positioning of the buildings clearly distinguish between the north that is exposed to street noise and the south that benefits from the sun and the view. The sophisticated buildings that optimally convey the qualities of the site offer both privately owned and housing cooperative apartments. The structures reinterpret the scale of the free standing buildings of the neighbourhood, but are joined/conjunct for noise protection. The top levels thus form a single large structure. Interconnections on the pedestrian level offer spectacular views of the city and the lake through the glassed lobbies of the buildings.
