The complex is located on a triangular plot, amid mainly rectangular plots. The Zwitserlandpad, a cycle and footpath, marks one of the sides of the triangle and cuts across the octagonal grid. This creates a single route leading slow traffic to and from the avenues and Cascadepark. The robust residential building has five floors and houses 22 flats for first-time buyers. Behind a protruding wall plastic on Beneluxlaan is the entrance, which provides access to living rooms with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. By placing the stairwell and bicycle storage on the inside, the balconies could be superimposed on that side, while staggered on the other facade for a playful effect. The narrow end façade has tall, double windows, making the building appear taller than it is. The repetition of vertical accents contributes to the quirky and contemporary look of the building, which can be described as 'LEGO-like'. This colourful and dynamic design adds spice to the neighbourhood and offers a fresh, modern housing solution for first-time buyers.
