Two striking brick housing blocks face an old harbour warehouse designed by distinguished architect Lars Sonck in Jätkäsaari. These rental apartment buildings (partly social housing,) form a clear frontage in brick, with a fine arcade of shops on the street level.

A decorative element is created by the colourful balconies above the shop windows. Another motif is the top row of vertical boxes clad in sheet metal containing small room-like glazed balconies. In the darker coloured of the two street-side buildings, the top floors are comprised of two-storey apartments with spacious open terraces. The apartments vary from small studio flats to family homes with several bedrooms. There is also a special group unit for people with disabilities.

The facades of the inner courtyard are in a lighter colour, a feature in accordance with the Helsinki urban tradition. Car parking is placed underground, while communal saunas and spaces are situated on the top floor offering views over the sea.
