The buildings are located along a narrow rocky site between Retkeilijänkatu and a cycling and pedestrian route, that runs alongside the metro line. Redbrick is the predominate facade material, while the ground floor level is a dark grey honed concrete and the upper floor a light-coloured graphic concrete. Balcony facades on the metro side are partially clad in colourful aluminium louvres. The project was realised using the so-called ‘Integrated project delivery’ (IPD) method and building information modelling (BIM) was used during the design process by all members of the design team.
