Unlike most architects of the Neues Bauen movement, Alker did not opt for a stringent row construction method, but instead cleverly grouped the apartment buildings as a homogeneous large form around a large shared inner courtyard. The staggered block corners, which allow good lighting of the interior spaces, and the central gate towers, which are emphasized as the visual joint of the block, are special. The north side with its monumental glass façade forms the end of the block. Egon Eiermann once had his office here.
