The church which is currently located on the site will take up the 3rd floor and first basement. The second basement level will provide parking for 400 bicycles, with a third basement level providing technical space.

The design is simple and modern in its form with a timeless expression of Scandinavian architecture. The facade is composed of slim vertical aluminum and glass panels, with green terraces at different heights and orientations.

The project is aiming for BREEAM NOR Excellent and WELL Gold.

Construction is expected to start third quarter 2021, and complete by the end of 2023.
