The envisioned building for this museum is arranged on 3 levels, including basement. Its overall height above ground (building shape) is 25m. The building footprint is a prolonged trapezoidal form of 112,500m long by 75m at its shortest side. The total footprint area is 7,253.5 m2, which is about 55% of the site area. The building is situated in the middle of the plot creating front and back outdoor areas. The building volume is positioned at the lowest level of the site’s sloped landscape and its roof profile aligns with the landscape behind the building providing easy access to the roof garden. The entire roof-surface serves as an outdoor garden for leisure purposes with views towards the built-up area and mountain range.
