The Architect and Professor Steen Eiler Rasmussen work with the fellow Professor and Landscape Architect C.Th. Sørensen to create a self-contained housing development. The housing is 3 storey blocks with a single landmark tower of 12 storeys which can be seen from surrounding neighborhoods. Housing is arranged in blocks that open towards the south and west making Tingbjerg open and giving direct sunlight to the apartments. Yellow brick walls, shallow pitched roofs and many green spaces are the dominant features of Tingbjerg. Plans to connect Tingbjerg to the local rail network failed, and subsequently a lack of express bus connections and a single point for vehicle entry into Tingbjerg has left it somewhat isolated from the surrounding city. Cycle access is generally good with routes along Hareskovvej, towards the city centre, and Vestvolden. Along Ruten, Steen Eiler Rasmussen's [https://dokument.plandata.dk/20_3522714_1518459660801.pdf Lille Torv] (Little Square) and [https://dokument.plandata.dk/20_3826298_1547452852074.pdf Store Torv] (Big Square) which have served as an elongated town centre are being removed as part of the ongoing [https://www.kk.dk/sites/default/files/edoc/Attachments/23276519-32469684-42.pdf densification] of Tingbjerg.
