Ovaj stambeni kompleks sastoji se od 9 jednosobnih jedinica površine oko 20m2 i 3 jedinice površine 30m2. L oblik projektovane zgrade ograđuje otvoren prostor između pristupa i ulice, i dve praznine u obliku drveta unutar objekta omogućuju kompaktan raspored balkona i komunikacija između jedinica. Ove praznine omogućuju ventilaciju pošto su orjentisane ka zazorima u gusto razvijenom stambenom naselju koje okružuje objekat; efekat dimnjaka koji obezbeđuju razgranate praznine poboljšava cirkulaciju vazduha. Takođe, svetlost prodire kroz otvore praznina. Jedinice imaju različite osnove, uključujući I, L, C, T, i druge oblike obmotane oko praznina. Eksterijer objekta ističe se korišćenjem livenog betona u četinarskoj oplati i prozorskim ramovima od pocinkovanog metala.

This housing complex consists of 9 one-room units measuring approximately 20m2 and 3 units measuring approximately 30m2. The L-shaped design of the building as a whole secures an open space between the entryway and street, while two tree-shaped voids inside the building allow for a compact arrangement of balconies and walkways between units. The voids provide ventilation because they are oriented towards gaps in the densely-developed residential neighborhood surrounding the building; the chimney effect produced by the tall, tree-shaped voids further enhances air circulation. Light also pours in through the top of the voids. The units have a diverse range of floor plans, including I, L, C, T, and other shapes that wrap around the voids. Standout features of the exterior include concrete poured in larch plywood formwork and hot-dip galvanized metal window frames.
