The newly completed residential complex extends along the street and rises from a base containing one- and two-storey courtyard apartments to its top-floor residences with a variety of apartment types. A wide green strip along the street line is divided into smaller gardens connected with a central green zone by a network of pathways spread through the new residential area. The design blends the towers seamlessly into a natural landscape, adding lush greenery in-between the buildings. The towers feature a clinker brick facade, whose materiality pays homage to the former railway station.
