The appearance of the building is defined by the striking vertical concrete surfaces of the facades and the fine veil of the outer glass skin, both of which emphasize the internal structure.
Different zones are separated by freestanding walls perpendicular to the glazed facades. Elevators, toilets and storage rooms form a free-standing structure next to the staircase.
Every two floors are connected into a functional zone by a large circular atrium.
Three spacious clusters for work, research, and conferences are created, each extending over two floors. The central atrium becomes a communicative hub, fostering interactive collaboration and a sense of shared working.
