A citadel of 15,500 m2 of student flats encircles a mound in the centre of the site, with two smaller communal courtyards. In addition to the natural trees and cliffs are fruit trees and berry bushes. The club rooms, day-care centres, and saunas are situated around the entrance area. The three-story buildings have glazed stairways with white concrete facades.
