The 130 x 130 m block, one of the largest in the urban-plan, is divided into four sections by pedestrian roads. The commercial spaces in the plinth have zigzagging façades above which the housing block 'floats' independently. The circulation routes, that slice through the volume, prevent a massive, wall-like appearance. They widen at their intersection, forming a plaza that is marked by a small 10-floor tower on stilts.
