The building is located in the small-scale Gundeldinger quarter, directly on the south side of the station. It responds to this environment with its generosity and openness. The design is based on 2 themes: 

The expression of duality in the vertical (earth - sky) leads to a column-free middle floor as a separating element. 

The external structure allows for a free floor plan that can change over all floors and forms a transitional space between inside and outside.
