The completed residential buildings are situated along the ring road. In the middle of this area is a smaller semi-public garden around the perimeter of which there are 6 four-storey residential houses. These are complemented on the southern and western edges of the territory by two-storey terraced family houses. To the north, there is a group of buildings that are adjacent to a barrier house, which, together with an all-terrain rampart, protect the area from the busier road leading to the northwestern boundary of the plot.
The apartment buildings have one underground and four above-ground floors, one of which is receding. The floor plan is rectangular, with overall dimensions of 25 x 15 meters. The superstructure consists of one stair section. The lower building is used for shared parking and technical facilities. Terraced houses are designed with one underground and two above-ground floors measuring 17.7 x 12.8 m.
Facades have emphasized horizontal divisions with balconies that have milky glass railings.
The colour concept is based on the contrast of white, light grey and anthracite surfaces. The facades are mainly plastered, while the projected elements are emphasized with the alucobond tiling. The retaining and partition walls on the ground and basement level are gabion.
The combined load-bearing skeleton system of the basement consists of peripheral and internal load-bearing walls around the communication cores, supplemented with reinforced concrete columns, mostly located in the garage space.
The structural system of the above-ground part of the building consists of two-way, perimeter and inner, bearing walls, locally supplemented with internal pillars. The load-bearing structures of all above-ground floors are completely designed as monolithic reinforced concrete.
Technological facilities are mainly located in the basement of the building. The heating of the hot utility water is placed in the boiler room. Natural ventilation is preferred but in case of need the mechanical one would be used. Direct cooling is proposed for the living rooms of apartments on the top floor.
