The building's design references the work of architect Dirk Roosenburg, who designed many older buildings in Strijp-S neighbourhood. The regular vertical division ensures that the building has a consistent and uncluttered appearance, with all elements well connected. Furthermore, the building's varying heights align with the heights of surrounding buildings in the immediate vicinity.[6] It relates to the Klokgebouw, Strijp-T and the Machinekamerplein, which is yet to be developed.[7] The facade of the residential tower is clad with gray and white bricks and golden-yellow aluminum window frames . The tower's length is emphasized by the use of vertical windows and lines.[6]
The tower houses 333 private sector rental apartments, ranging in size from 40 to 110 m². Three larger penthouses have also been built. The ground floor is reserved for shops, restaurants, offices, cultural concepts, and other amenities.[4][7] There is also a bicycle storage facility beneath the tower, and trees have been planted in the surrounding area.[8]
In July 2024, the Lighthouse tower reached its highest point as it was architecturally topped out. This meant that the De Admirant residential tower was no longer the tallest building in Eindhoven after fifteen years. The tower was inaugurated on October 2, 2025.[9]
