Condensed housing at the urban periphery is the leitmotif of this innovative model estate based on a master plan by Adolf Krischanitz. The special trait of this project lies in its close interaction with the construction industry and the advantages this has produced with respect to the building material technology of concrete as well as in its architectural-spatial quality, combined with high urbanistic condensation.

The strikingly orange façade and high brick chimney of the former coffin factory, on whose site this housing project embodying a uniformly communal approach was erected, signal its uniqueness from afar: this “communal housing project” represents a successful model of intertwining the public and the private in a residential context.
