 Exterior View
The different height level of the site is used to generate a tilted surface. The Cube is set into this surface, and the volume under it is used for parking and technical functions. The surface is distorted by different entrances and skylights. The office volume is responsive to the varying character of the surroundings, creating social zones where there are good sunlight conditions or spectacular views over the city centre.  Night View The social zones are programmed with a meeting center, cafeteria, and terrace for relaxation, recreation, and sports. The social zones punctuate an atrium that penetrates the entire office building. Here arises a social venue for employees. The building breathes through the green buffer zones located between the facade and atrium. These green zones unite the building’s social zones with the building’s environmental principles compact building, natural ventilation, double facade and thermal mass.
