YMCA Staff quarters, built in 1962, is a complex of four secretaries apartments and four junior staff quarters. The clients brief insisted on a physical separation of the two categories of apartments and this was developed in the form of a separating street. The same basic system of planning on a square grid with a system of alternating terraces on each floor ensured an overall unity of concept.

A system of internal courtyards and the separating street were in keeping with traditional planning systems providing both comfortable climactic conditions as well as privacy to each apartment.
