This complex of balcony houses with minimum dwellings counts among residental blocks built in the beginning of the thirties by the city of Bratislava for the underprivilledged. It comprises of seven objects in a row estate, with austere architectural forms, so characteristic of Weinwurm's puristic work.
Each dwelling is accessible from a barcony oriented to the north - at end of each are the tworoom dwellings (50 of them altogether) and oneroom in the middle (240). Each of the houses has two staircases. The architects have formerly devised built-in furniture and light interior accessories made of steel pipes. Yet, this plan hasn't been carried out. At the time of its creation, this complex was a rare example of functionalist priciples applied to a housing project in Slovakia.
