| − | The structural principal is a simple one. The building consists of stacked blocks of massive wood. What gives the structure complexity is however the way in which these blocks are placed relative to one another. The exact rotation and displacement of each block relative its neighbors are defined by the unique joint of each piece.

Being a public space, the building is utterly depending on a steady flow of people. The public path has been carved out of the physical shape of the building allowing the space to be accessible for pedestrians and bikers from multiple directions. This pedestrian path the continues on to the neighboring projects Open House and Veni-Vidi and Ez RDM.
