Urban planning policy in Munich today foresees an increase in the density of building development in the city centre. Located on a former railway area, the present office and housing scheme occupies one of the few larger inner-city sites still available. Alongside what are described as “luxury” flats, 106 publicly assisted dwellings have been created. These comprise 25 different types, ranging from 37 m2 one-room to 130 m2 five-room units. The almost 100-metre-long south facade is articulated by an alternation of roomheight flush windows and inset loggias.
