The in-situ cast concrete is left raw, but is counterbalanced and softened by elements and wood and colours. Here it is a large blue notice board. The use of colour in construction is a Greenlandic building practice.

The deep seat niches have inbuilt ventilation to avoid moisture build-up on the large window surfaces. Integrated light at the top of the frame ensures good reading light whatever the season.
