A few words from current residents...

http://monocle.com/magazine/issues/65/estate-of-the-art/
 "You open the door and [the
children] go out and play- there's
always things for them to do and
people for them to be with and you
feel safe."
- Steve Walker, House 44

 "Life in a well-equipped
community is cheaper. you
might have small rooms in
your home, but most of
your time, particularly for
children, is spent together
in communal areas."

- Fritz Thormann (Atelier 5), House 53

 "The balance of social
and private lives works
perfectly. In summer
people take food outside
and eat together. It's the
most communicative
environment I've lived in."

- Bernhard Egger and Christof Huber, House 75

"It has achieved what so few
other estates managed: to
provide quality of life for so
many people while taking up
so little space on the
ground. It affords total
privacy and social
community as you wish."

- Urs Heinberg, House 15
