In order to create a unified experience given the different programs – Single Family House, Double Family House and Triple Family House – it is achieved through a basic ground figure, the square.

The typology of these town villas is related to the two houses by Alfred Roth and Marcel Breuer in the Doldertal (1936) and to the concept of the palazzine as, for example, developed in Rome by Adalberto Libera and Luigi Moretti.

The two similar building volumes ¾comparable to the Tintin detectives “Thomson” and “Thompson”¾ are specified in the design plan. They define a courtyard-like external space that forms the social centre of the complex with a view of Multengut, which gives the complex its name.

The volumes of the individual buildings are staggered, both horizontally and vertically. In this way they react to the sloping topography.

The two housing blocks are part of an overall plan by burkhalter sumi architects. In a reference to the guideline planning for the Sulzerareal in Oberwinterthur the long building volumes are at right angles to Eulachpark.
