The so called „social house” was a public use building for the nearby workers’ housing estate. It is composed of interlocking masses of varied heights and has a Functionalist, geometrical form. The building contained all the necessary programme: a pre-school, shops, library with a reading room, a theatre hall and a terrace. Its original colour scheme was sand and light pink as opposed to the Purist white of the housing. It is a beautiful example of architecture serving its social purpose.
