Cook speaks more about the design concept, noting "[The concept was] to express joy, playfulness, cheerfulness, exuberance, and a little bit of irreverence. To use much brighter and purer colours than in a regular building. To make the enclosure free and 'wavy' and liable to burst out into strange shapes." The design is meant to be a space for families, teens, and children and is defined by its [colorful accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wired-scape) made from LEGO bricks. It was also presented in time with LEGO's World Play Day. It is up until August and features a single domed structure, which encourages play and exploration.
