The modules cascade down to the building’s lowest profile at just 7m, gradually extending the wooden development into the park. The organic expression and cedar-cladding continues into the green courtyard, where residents and visitors are met by different sized plateaus that create small activity pockets and spaces for amenities: a shared outdoor area with lush bushes, trees, a dog daycare, a preschool and ample racks for bicycle parking. Inside, nearly all of the 169 units have unique layouts, appealing to the diverse group of residents across different age groups and walks of life.

All dwellings have access to private and shared roof terraces. Large windows invite greenery from the terraces and views from the national park into the residences, creating a smooth transition between inside and outside. The terraced landscape features a rich variety of plants—hardy perennials, trees and bushes are sprinkled across the rooftops, appearing green and leafy throughout the different seasons in the Scandinavian climate. The ground floor of 79&Park houses commercial spaces open to the public, activating the edge of the plot.

In the floors above, residents enjoy views to the expansive, peaceful landscape of Gärdet’s wild grasslands and heaths. 79&Park appears like a gentle hillside, seamlessly blending into the nature around it.
