The building, with its interplay of sculpturality and transparency, creates a striking urban statement in close proximity to the railway station area. The concave building shape, which creates a distinctive edge along the railway tracks, and the glass facade spanning over six stories, give the building an iconic presence.
Inside, open, communicative spatial structures create an inspiring environment for exchange and development. The three-story lobby with a generous seating staircase is a central meeting point and offers space for diverse uses. The sustainable concept integrates circular construction, green facades and roofs, PV modules, as well as rainwater harvesting – contributing to a healthy and sustainable working environment.
