The high-rise building marks a new significant silhouette in Västerås skyline and a characteristic landmark for the entire district of Lilludden. The three-dimensional facades and a green panoramic garden on the 15th floor overlooking the city and Lake Mälaren characterize the architecture. C.F. Møller with C.F. Møller Landscape suggests in the competition proposal that the frame is carried out as a hybrid of solid wood and concrete.
 
"The architecture and details of the facades are inspired by the light reflections on Lake Mälaren. The result is a three-dimensional and dynamic facade composition that is exciting to watch both at close range andfrom a distance. The panoramic garden placed high up in the building is a focal point for the city and a fantastic common area for the residents of the house. Our ambition has been to optimize the synergies between the city, building and urban greenery,” explains Ola Jonsson, architect and associate partner at C.F. Møller.
 
The building's footprint is of an elliptical shape with facades facing all directions of the compass. Balconies sweep along the tower facade and are connected by highthin glass panels that are placed rhythmically along the balconies. The thin horizontal balcony edges and the vertical and sheer glass sheets give the facade a lightness and reflect the light of the place. The glass panels have integrated lighting that illuminates and highlights the facade – even at night.
 
C.F. Møller suggests that the frame is executed as a hybrid between solid wood and concrete. Concrete is the supporting construction up to the 15th floor at the panoramic garden, and above this level the remaining 7 floors will be framed in solid wood. Thus, the differences of the two materials will form a positive interaction.
 
The facades are covered with undressed wood, which is weather-protected by the overlying balconies on each floor. The balconies can be closed and serve as winter gardens with the possibility of growing crops and extend the seasons throughout the year. The residential area has a variety of apartment sizes and thereby creates diversity in the residential profile.

The new high-rise building creates the framework for a new destination and meeting space for the entire area. The building's ground floor will make room for restaurants and business premises facing  the sun-drenched square. The outdoor space of the square will include a generous plant wall and green areas, andtogether with the panoramic garden at 15th floor this is all a part of C.F. Møller's strategy to integrate plants, green areas and ecosystems in the urban landscape.
 
The architectural competition was organized by Riksbyggen in Västerås and the winner was elected in January 2017. C.F. Møller's proposal receivedwith these words of praise by the competition's jury:
 
”A beautiful house with good use of the site - both in terms of location and the creation of the square. The best of the proposals concerning urbanity on the ground floor and the surrounding area. A fine number of apartments as well as a fine distribution of sizes.”
 
The other architects who took part in the competition were Wingårdhs & Tham and Videgård Architects.
