Sobre o bairro de oito casas para a COOP de 1954 no Bairro da Polana (perto da Ponta Vermelha) em Lourenço Marques (actual Maputo) o arquitecto Pancho Guedes diz:

The Group of Eight Houses for the Coop on Avenida Belegrade da Silva makes a communal central space set at right angles to the street. This central space is terminated by a stone mosaic mural based on the flag of the City of Lisbon. Each house has a small front garden and a backyard. The entrance to each house is under a spilt level room and next to it is a space for a car. Each such space is closed off from the backyard by a wall with a painted house flag each different from the other seven. The roof space over the intermediate room is a storeroom but in some houses this was later converted into an extra bedroom.
