The building has an articulated building volume of 4 clear parts, which gives the whole a smaller scale up close and provides the entire area with a skyline from a distance. The ground floor offers space for public and commercial functions.

The approximately 400 micro-apartments are designed in such a way that they still offer the resident a lot of space, comfort and usage options, despite the compact house plan. The various collective facilities, including a communal bicycle shed and spaces with flexible study/workplaces, encourage meeting between young city dwellers, who often live alone.
