The building is located in an area where there are a lot of hospitals and universities. The building aims to host mostly students of universities and workers of the hospitals around. In this project, slash architects have re-designed an existing shell of an under-construction building.

The building has a dominant shopping base that is one stories high in the ground floor and two stories high at the backside. These shopping units are designed as reverse duplexes which invites the customers from the front façade and offers them a garden in the back downstairs. This allows the restaurants and cafes to have different alternatives of outside sitting experiences. The front façade, facing the main road serves for customers who wants to have a quick breakfast before work whilst the back garden allows users to have a more chilled out experience of dining in a quiet and calm environment.

Considering the hot climate conditions the designer have installed sun-blinds made out of wood in order to create a double façade for the building. These sun-shades help the building to resist the hot weather conditions for the workers of the office.

The façade has an envelope of wooden sun-blinds held by a horizontal grid system which allows the building to create inner gardens where a lot to greenery is integrated. Looking outside from the interior of the office, the office employees are segregated from the noisiness of the city and they feel at ease.
