The building dates from 1974 and the apartment has an energy label C. Access to the apartment is via a secure main entrance and an internal corridor; the unit can be reached by lift or stairs. The building is classified as a low-rise apartment block with fewer than four residential floors.
The apartment layout includes an entrance hall that provides access to the kitchen, an internal storage room, a compact bathroom and the living room. The living room adjoins the bedroom, which has direct access to an east-facing balcony overlooking Dirk Dekkerstraat.

Heating in the complex is provided by a communal central boiler with individual radiator meters, which means a portion of the heating costs is measured per radiator; water consumption is accounted for separately.
