Through the use of continuous white precast concrete string courses, the building is expressed as an object in the round, with the façade made from two types of limestone panelling, framing full height windows. The repetition of a regular rhythm of glazed and solid infill panels to the middle floor levels, enlivened by the regular distribution of balconies, gives expression to the apartments. At the base wide stone piers frame timber clad townhouses which help to animate the street level.

The building sits within an urban block made up of four apartment buildings which enclose a raised triangular courtyard with landscaping that flows down to a quiet residential street on the southern perimeter. The Haworth Tompkins building addresses Mirabelle Gardens to the east, and apartments on the upper floors have large expressed balconies with excellent views over the gardens or the landscaped courtyard to the west.
