Dronning Eufemias gate 6 is designed as a mediator between Oslo Atrium and the "Barcode" development. Therefore, the vertical, stone-clad gable motif reflects the verticality of the corners of Oslo Atrium and the vertical gabled buildings of Barcode, which is further east. The curved west facade is clad with reflective, silk-screened glass panels facing the Oslo Atrium and provides light into and views out from both buildings. This benefits both those who work there, as well as giving an airiness to the space between them and the cityscape between them.

Dronning Eufemias gate 6 has a prominent position as part of the series of facades that form the background for the Opera in Oslo and Deichman's library. With its modest size, central location and high quality, the building is a firm marker in the new district.

The building is designed according to the "passive house" standard, and leaves a modest carbon footprint. Since the building is located close to the communications centre, Oslo central station, with train, bus and subway services, there are deliberately no parking spaces directly connected to the building. In contrast, there is a substantial bicycle parking and cloakroom facility in the basement. There is also a roof garden on level 7.
