This residential complex incorporating suspension bridges is based on an entry to an experimental housing competition in 1962. As four maisonettes share an outside stair, four storeys can be served by a single access gallery with the dimensions of a pavement and sheltered by glazed walls and a roof. The result is a truly constructivist architecture.
