This project started the history of the Bureau. It also became for us a school and an experimental platform for a 10-year period.

The project presents a modern interpretation of the idea of the neighborhood, brought in line with current requirements for housing, infrastructure and landscaping.

A continuous chain of comfortable pedestrian spaces connects the houses and social facilities in the center. Yards open up to pedestrian boulevards and landscaped areas of schools and kindergartens. The improvement of the neighborhood creates a comfortable environment for living and walking, which becomes a pleasant discovery for all guests of the neighborhood.
