Locally, the complex is often referred to as Wrocław’s Manhattan, Bunkrowce[2] (Bunkers), or Sedesowce[3] (Toilet Bowls) due to its distinctive architectural style.
The complex consists of six high-rise residential buildings, each standing 55 meters tall (16 floors), along with commercial pavilions,[4] which are elevated above the ground on reinforced concrete pillars.
[4] The original design envisioned white concrete towers with exotic wood finishes on the balconies, climbing plants in the rounded recesses of the façade, and grass-covered roofs on the commercial pavilions.
[6] Despite budget constraints, Grabowska-Hawrylak managed to implement rooftop terraces with communal areas and bathrooms on the flat roofs of all residential buildings in Grunwaldzki Square.
[7] The architect also deliberately chose a dark shade for the window frames instead of the typical white oil paint used at the time, believing it complemented the sculptural appearance of the façade better.
