The bulky volume of the community centre is encircled by smaller buildings that are positioned to form various exterior spaces: a representative forecourt facing the road, a sheltered square in front of the café and an open-plan garden area for the new houses. The external spatial pattern of the housing group, radiating around a common gravitational point, reappears in the concentric internal structure of the community centre. The office units are formed as load bearing structures in the shape of a windmill around a central core. The core, however, remains closed and reveals the light court in its centre only to those moving up and down within the building. The corridors appear all the more spacious, where they meet the façade and open up to create waiting zones for visitors. In the houses, the continuous strip windows, which allow all the rooms to benefit from the charms of the garden, alternate with parapet bands. The restrained neutral stucco of the street-facing commercial building, accommodating shops, offices and café supports the integration of the prominent fore-positioned building into the structural ensemble of the street village.
