The building has thirteen floors, ten above street level.
Environment
The building has double walls, the outer made entirely of glass and the inner 60 percent glass with a gap between, a more energy efficient design than a traditional glass and steel building. The environment coordinate Klas Johansson, described the solution as "an unbelievably efficient system, featuring what is in effect quintuple glazing."
The heating is provided partly by captured waste heat from Stockholm Central Station - an estimated 5-10% of the heating requirement. Water from the canal Klara Sjö is used for cooling. The goal is a consumption of 60 kWh/sqm/yr, half the National Board of Housing Building requirement.
