The complex consisted of an external rectangle and two central symmetrical residential blocks, separated by an area laid out as a garden (A) with six fountains (B).<\/p>\n

The buildings, at least three storeys high and accessed from the garden, had external staircases leading up to the apartments located on the upper floors, generally destined for rental.<\/p>\n

The complex, as functional and elegant as a modern luxury apartment building, was inhabited by the city\u2019s upper middle class, in an area near the sea and not too distant from the city centre.<\/p>\n
