The six-apartment complex consists of two buildings, positioned freely on the sloping site in alignment with the neighbouring Zserbó Villa. The buildings are composed of modular units measuring 6×6×3 meters, resembling children’s wooden building blocks. The playful composition of these modules defines both the massing and the overall character of the structures.

The façade is finished with a medium-grey plaster that blends harmoniously with the colours of the tree trunks, allowing the building to integrate into the forested environment even in winter. The apartments are primarily accessed via elevators starting from the parking level, which is embedded into the terrain. Ground-floor and first-floor apartments can also be entered directly from the garden, while second-floor apartments are reached via an external spiral staircase attached to the façade. Each unit features a spacious, wood-clad terrace. In the garden-level apartments, the large glass walls can be slid open, seamlessly extending the indoor space into nature.
The buildings are framed by colourful, decorative shrub clusters, evoking a park-like atmosphere. Thanks to the multi-layered vegetation that remains vibrant throughout all seasons, residents always enjoy a rich and colourful garden view from their homes.
