Main planning aim was hence to create a vivid, modern community which mainly appeals to the younger generation. Clearly recognizable clusters with semi-public courtyards create a friendly and communicative, at the same time safe living space.

The proposed typology of buildings is reflecting wishes and possibilities of young people – medium and small-sized apartments with a big variety of additional spaces: as private gardens, terraces, balconies – all of them bright and with good solar conditions.
Affordable (first) apartments with these qualities are rare to find, making this project an exceptionally good choice for young people.
