Building type M10 was generally built as a pair of cores, that is to say that it had two entrance not connected by a corridor. Each of the cores had 40 residential units. The floor plans are organized so that each floor could have either two 4-bedroom apartments (front facing) and two 1-bedroom apartments (rear facing) or two 3-bedroom apartments (front facing) and two 2-bedroom apartments (rear facing) side by side. There are four balconies at each entrance of the entrance opposite side. Depending on the type of apartment they are the 2/3/4 assigned room apartments. The bathrooms are of the smaller type taken from the P2 building type, and could be used at any of the risers in the plan. The kitchens share a back-to-back plumbing riser with the baths, and are accessible only through the living room. Kitchen and bathrooms of the larger units are made accessible through a corridor in the apartment. They shared, however, a common window.
The main entrance to the building is sheltered by a canopy, leading to the vestibule where resident's postal boxes are located. The garbage room is also accessed from this vestibule. The ground floor is - as with all prefabricated buildings in the GDR - half a floor level above the street level and accessible by a stair at the interior side. Unlike the more common P2 building type, the elevator lifts at the M10 were accessed from the mid-landing of the stair which itself was open to the corridor at each level from the basement up to the 9th floor. The dwellings on the 10th floor can only be reached by the stairs. Barrier-free access of the basement is accomplished with a set of ramps from the vestibule of the building. On each floor there are 4 apartments. Small storage closets are located at each stairway landing between the stair landing and the corridor. In some buildings of this type that space has been used for waste chute, before the floorspace was reassigned.

Stairs are a structure designed to bridge a large vertical distance between lower and higher levels by dividing it into smaller vertical distances. This is achieved as a diagonal series of horizontal platforms called steps which enable passage to the other level by stepping from one to another step in turn. Steps are very typically rectangular. Stairs may be straight, round, or may consist of two or more straight pieces connected at angles.
An apartment, flat, or unit is a self-contained housing unit that occupies part of a building, generally on a single storey. There are many names for these overall buildings.

Multifamily residential, also known as multidwelling unit (MDU)) is a classification of housing where multiple separate housing units for residential inhabitants are contained within one building or several buildings within one complex.

Common forms include apartment building and condominium, where typically the units are owned individually rather than leased from a single building owner. Many intentional communities incorporate multifamily residences, such as in cohousing projects.
