The western part is of three rows of urban villas (towers with four dwellings on each level) and two slabs, with dwellings accessible by a street in the air or central stairs. The eastern part is dominated by parallel slabs of different height.

Within this urban plan OMA has designed a number of buildings. A long slab over a podium (that serves as dyke and bicycle storage), on pilotis, leaving an open space with pavilions: four shops in ovals and one in a triangle, a communal center in a second triangle and lobbies.

The slab contains dwellings of 2 or 3 rooms on a gallery, dwellings accessible by staircases and dwellings accessible by stairs - skylit - cutting diagonally through the section of the building, which creates a layout that shifts at each level.

A shorter slab contains two-story maisonettes of 4 or 5 rooms and a collective housing unit for disabled people. In the maisonettes the (upper) bedroom level is diagonally above the living room level.

The school is a primary school with eight classrooms and a gym. As a consequence of the open plan we proposed for the neighbourhood, the school is split into two small multi-story slabs.

The program for the school (in the eastern slab) required classrooms (in the two-storey part) with spaces for collective use (in the three-storey part integrated with corridors and stairs).

The school yard is on two levels (for younger and older pupils and partly sheltered by the gym hall on its pilotis. The gym is over two stories, the 0-level with locker rooms, showers and space for equipment for the schoolyard, on the first floor is the gym and room for its equipment. The volumes are shifted, to create a view from the gym to the city on the other embankment.

The building is of normal glass in wooden frames, brick and - distinguishing it from the housing - corrugated aluminium. The gym has a steel frame.
