The building has been praised for integrating into its landscape and being a good example of contemporary Norwegian architecture.[9][10] The home's façade splits into 2 living areas after the main wing.[11][12] There is also a detached annex to accommodate guests.[13]

The siding is largely made from timber, which is a common feature of Norwegian architecture.[14] The timber cladding was chosen because it will change color and become grey over time; an aesthetic choice.[15][16]
