Ackermann’s concept differs from the neighboring perimeter developments by removing the houses from the main street. By continuously offsetting multiple smaller exposed concrete volumes the four to eight story exposed concrete buildings create a dynamic overall image. As many living and lounge rooms as possible are oriented towards the courtyard. As with other projects by Kurt Ackermann (Fire Station 4, Höfter residential complex), an elaborate children's playground was designed based on the concept of an adventure playground by Peter M. Bode and Helge Wolff. 

Ackermann’s work was awarded with the Architecture Prize of the Association of German Architects (BDA) in 1971.
