The apartment building at Postiljooninkatu 10 consists of the tower and slab block sections.
The building is located in the new residential area of ​​Postipuisto, between the Ilmala depot and Central Park.
On the street side, the detailed plan set out the cohesiveness of the curved section and the appearance of the balconies.

The top floor houses two communal saunas with balconies, as well as a small recreation room.
The architects aimed to lighten the appearance of the buildings with the light tones and varying openings of the tower, as well as the brick cladding of the parking facility.
In the courtyard, the buildings are bound together by natural tones in facades. The graphic concrete pattern enlivens the wall of the parking facility that acts as a noise barrier.
