The site of the multifunctional facility has several hidden qualities, such as a number of monumental trees along the canal. The mixed development in the neighborhood was built gradually in the post-war years and largely follows the orthogonal pattern of the post-war neighborhood layout. Some blocks are angled relative to this pattern, such as an outdated residential building from the 1960s. The meandering, Z-shaped building blends carefully into its surroundings, picking up on various orientations and defining different atmospheres in the form of two squares: a playground by the water and under the trees, and an entrance square on the street side with parking. The dark brick, used in various decorative masonry patterns, has an almost natural stone-like appearance due to its size and color nuances, complementing the foliage of the trees.

The building features height accents where possible, such as the angled wing on the west side. This gives the gallery apartments optimal sun orientation. The galleries of these homes overlook the schoolyard and offer additional seating space through balcony-like widenings near the front doors.
