Towards Albani Torv the building is subordinate to the large Skt. Knuds Kirke next to it, and it is therefore built as a low, three-storey building in red brick. The building has no wall footing, and in combination with the horizontal window bands this emphasises the low structure. To the other side, towards Eventyrhaven (the Fairy-tale Garden), the building has a quite different appearance and size. The site slopes drastically downward, and therefore the house has an extra storey. Besides, this storey is mainly an atrium jutting out between red brick walls. Inside the building all functions front on an atrium courtyard planted with tropical and sub-tropical plants.
