Located in the very heart of a small western Slavonian town, the building has unusual edge conditions. Physically, there is a community health centre with a low extension and an ample front garden to the north of the site alongside a typical provincial housing unit with an open side staircase to the east. Mentally, there is a powerful memory of the original building, destroyed in the Yugoslav army's air bombing, in which several people died. The main volume with the bulk of flats, accessible from the gallery, has two extensions/annexes - one bigger, with maisonettes overlooking the courtyard, and a smaller one, a copper-clad memorial with a huge skylight on the small front square.
