Elineberg Housing

The six tower blocks are positioned on a common concrete platform along the edge of a grassy slope running down to a main road.

The buildings are made in yellow brick with some brown detailing, the vertical windows being the only feature to break the otherwise smooth facades.

The effect is enhanced by the fact that each building is broken into sections depending on the varying widths of the balconies.

The apartments, which were quite small in the original plans, were later enlarged, contributing to the slender, vertical appearance of the buildings.
