Fact Architects designed a durable and special facade. The dark wooden facade with the orange texts give the complex a sustainable and robust appearance. The exterior area is designed with the same clear approach. The buildings and grass hills enclose a courtyard consisting of lawns and an orange sports field. Along the ring road bicycle parking bays and spaces for bins are situated, separated by with roses overgrown walls. At the main road concrete blocks are placed that can be used as seating.
