Last Saturday, we opened the doors of the Gutstrasse Cooperative buildings to the public. The project consists of two tall apartment buildings, each accompanied by a smaller, pavilion-like building: a diamond-shaped kindergarten on the north side, and a long, slim building with new offices for the cooperative on the south side. The buildings on the north side are now complete: the first tenants have moved in and the kindergarten is open.
