From the outside, the building is characterized by vertical and horizontal elements that are formed by structural elements on the facade. The full-perimeter overhangs, whose main function is sheltering the workspace from direct sunlight, create the distinctive vertically of the facade. The entrance of the building, the entrance of the building, consisting of oversized void space and a combination of trees, which highlighted by a deep recess in the main facade.
The presence of double-height transparency on one side and a recess with a green terrace on the other breaks the symmetrical composition of the simple horizontal overhangs and central position of the entrance.
The architectural element of the void space, a space that is both the symbolic and physical core of the building. Replacing the functions of a conventional office lobby, the central void space combines the informal quality of gathering space with the public prominence of exhibition space. The full-height space is filled with natural light through the glass wall and is surrounded on four sides by the balconies.


A playful system of boxes connects the different levels around the central void, breaking the horizontal continuity of the facade. With the visible movement of people around the building and various balconies support physical and visual interaction between coworkers at any given moment.
At the heart of the central void space, is a unique and three-dimensional showcase that displays all wonderful aspects of the building. It consists of a playful composition of different boxes stacked unevenly on top of each other.
