Not eco friendly because built in the 1920s, but ticks the other boxes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeindebau

When this was done, the authorities knew that the private housing market was going to suffer and they went ahead anyways. With continuous modernization most of these are still in use today.
