To adapt to the neighbourhood, the villa character, the nine apartments are situated in three apartment houses with different volumes and varied facade compositions.
The establishment is tied together by an underground parking area with access to all the flats.
The site plan is built up around a common square and an inside garden with a playground. The square is facing west.

The houses are two floors high plus a partially pulled in top floor.
The apartments vary in size from 232 m² to 277 m² BRA.
All apartments are lit through by daylight and have their own outdoor area as a terrace on the ground, balcony or roof terrace, as well as the common square and garden. The garage establishment and individual storage rooms are in the basement.

The two houses along Holmenveien are given different surfaces and cornice heights to tone down the volume. The sloping roof on the third house is laying like a background on the inner square and contributes to tone down the size of the establishment seen from the road. Towards the west large launched balconies, sheltering roofs and terrain walls distinguish the houses and tones down the scale from the distance.

The facades consist of four main materials; a light thin layer of colored render matching the mortar applied over the face of the buff brickwork but allowing the brick to show through. Dry masonry wreckage slate, oiled oak with varying widths and painted plates with furring strips in front.
The sloping roof is clad with rectangular Alta slate.
The pulled in top floor is clad with plates in a dark gray color combined with horizontal furring strips.
