The port and warehouse area, which sprawled between the city and the sea during the Soviet era, was privatised in the early 1990s. The area is currently undergoing the largest development activity adjacent to the Old Town. The triangular plot aligns with the existing Lootsi Street and the planned extension of Põhjaväil. The challenge was to create one of the first residential buildings in the vicinity of the port, offering residents views and air while creating high-quality architectural urban space on a wasteland.

The Y-shaped volume with a central corridor minimizes the building's footprint and makes the building line fluid, avoiding the rigid adherence to the street line and maximum building percentage typical of block-type construction. Both residents and city dwellers can use the unbuilt street space on the plot. The chosen facade materials make the building organic and lively: facade panels with natural veneer, spandrel glass printed with a plant pattern, and, innovative for an apartment building, a glass curtain wall onto which the daily lives of people are projected.
