The design itself is a composition of different prisms with voids and transparent surfaces coming together creating the impression of one big exploded cube. Each prismatic volume ends with an open terrace that serves the office workers. The terraced roof is covered with solar energy panels which also serve as shading elements creating a sophisticated semi-open space.

In this project, it was very important to create a high quality work environment so we challenged the traditional double-skin facade section of the building in order to also offer shaded balconies that surround the office space. The one outer skin is arranged using modular BIPV panels, while the other using painted glass shadings. When these two come together, they account for an irregular rhythm of shadows on the interior of the building and create a light controlled comfortable office spaces.

The project is nominated for Leed Platinium with energy saving and environmentally friendly properties. All the water and electricity consumption is controlled by using automated systems. The reusage of rain end drain water is provided in mechanical systems The materials used in the construction or decoration is selected according to international norms that green buildings acquire. The pv panels on the facade and wind tribüne at the roof is expected to supply the % 3 of electricity of the building.
