I think they did a great job. It’s certainly much better than the typical social housing project. The architects managed to give the users large windows with privacy (big plus for that) and modern materials.

ugly! i agree with you fleming.. totally. and my question is how does this building actually relate to the site? the influences out of the mountain (which is at time geometric… really?) I think it sounds all too much like an afterthought. i do like the individual types of floor layouts for each apartment.

But it seems like this is a quite isolated site….
Where only miners will live close by…

If you were a miner, why would you want to reside in a residence that resembled your profession. It should be a place of sanctity away from the coal mines. Just my critic, I do appreciate the clean geometric volumes and finishings though.
