Urban Design IJ-Plein

Six low-rise rows contain five-room maisonettes and, reached by an access gallery, two-room dwellings on the second floor. On the side overlooking the triangular square these rows are interlinked by a transparent prism of gallery-access flats. The angle of rotation dictated by the urban plan has been assimilated in the heads of the low-rise rows as studio houses.
