The building presents a distinguished shape with identity and character created by its bent contour, sloping floors and selective levels that open up to the views. The open and transparent layout contributes to its quality as a public building and guarantees a clear orientation and a safe atmosphere for the users.

The central atrium is the heart of the building. Natural daylight, the spectacular staircases and the trees make the atrium the central space for all visitors and users of public transport. It is the core of the building and acts as an anchor for orientation.
