The most notable stylistic element is a re-interpretation of traditional Viennese block architecture and its characteristic façade structure. Individual buildings designed as multi-unit dwellings for approx. 220 flats encircle courtyard zones and provide for private green spaces. Tranquil ground-floor areas form a base, while staggered loggias and winter-gardens define the façade outlook.

The Monte Laa campus is the first school erected according to the campus school model of the City of Vienna, which combines an all-day primary school and a kindergarten in one building with adjoining open spaces. The shape of the building reflects the linear, public green area of Monte Laa Park as it unfolds, serpent-like, along the boundary with the neighbouring property. The shared sports grounds, open areas and canteen rooms allow for special synergies between school and kindergarten.
