This complex comprises a free-standing 'baby-temple' and a main block with a two-level day nursery and a further three levels of housing. lts architecture is governed by an intricate, multi-coloured play of material and space. Dwellings are reached from a central corridor on the third storey. Bedrooms and dining rooms alternate per dwelling between second and fourth floors, a solution similar to that of Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation.
