The forty-meter-high composition based on the ground plan of five rounded triangles, with its envelope boundary, adjoins the basic grid of the orthogonal system present in the area. The distinctly plastically shaped facade of the five masses, with its curved shape in plan, offers an interesting and variable appearance when viewed from the outside. Raising one of the five masses (the NE corner) to the height of the parterre (or rather its "undercutting" from below) gives clear information about the position of the main entrance. The horizontal three-part division of the facade, with the help of two continuous horizontal negative joints, introduces a macroscale into the composition, which corresponds to the timing of the division of other objects in the vicinity. The horizontal division described in this way takes place in a layer of pre-mounted spatial vertical shading slats, which in their advancement and in the visual sum create the definition of the envelope of the individual masses. The materialization of the superimposed spatial facade elements from bent AL sheet metal gives these 3D elements a light metallic appearance of a precise engineering product á la gear wheel. The roof section is designed as an intensive roof garden with user access to these areas. Since the roof landscape contains practically no building services components, the garden's usability is truly generous.
