In the past it was populated with mansions built on large sites. However in recent years lots have been split by inheritance, reducing each lots? space for gardens, to a point where there are no gardens at all. The site of the project was also divided by inheritance, which resulted in a ?flag and pole? site of about 90 m2. The lot is squeezed between adjacent houses with only a 2.5m wide alley as access from the street.
