The station has an outdoor ground level island platform, which is accessed via a ramp, steps or lift from a ticket office and barrier line above the platform. This is, in turn, accessed on the level from within the Vårberg centrum [sv] shopping centre, into which the station is integrated. The trains pass under the shopping centre to the north of the station.^[3][4]

The subway building was designed by Hack Kampmann, who also designed the rest of the Vårberg centrum complex. The complex is to a modernist style and is green-labeled by the Stockholm City Museum, which means that the building is considered particularly valuable from a historical, cultural, environmental or artistic point of view.^[4]

As part of Art in the Stockholm Metro project, the station features ceramic wall works titled In Our Hands, created by Maria Ängquist Klyvare [sv] in 1996, with paintings depicting the hands of men, women and children.^[4][5]
