Based on a concept by Štefan Ďurkovič, Štefan Svetko and Stanislav Talaš, the design collective created the project for a housing estate completed in the late 1960s and attracting a positive response from international critics. The estate retains a comprehensible scale through the restrained width of the complex, with a sense of coziness added by the semi-enclosed blocks. Adding to the enclosure of the lengthwise section is the doubly interrupted main route. At the entrance to the estate is a shopping and service centre with a pedestrian bridge, gradually enlarged over time; the adjacent cascading fountain is a work by Irina Kedrová, the architects also managed to save the small church next to it. The upper centre is formed by the department store, linked to the terrace with a post office and other services (architects A. Plačko and M. Lojdl, 1967 – 1968).
