Despite using overhangs to widen the structure of the building, the shape of the plot – 9.90 m maximum width, 3 m wide at the intersection, 35 m long – determined the design approach. The form of the building is characterized by an overhang just 2.55 m from the level of the pavement. The resulting structure naturally divides the building into two parts. A monolithic, matt, dark, stone core of the staircase spans the building from the ground floor and reaches high above the rooftop. This particular element is closed and opaque in character, and provides a striking contrast with the second, compositionally different part of the building - a glazed overhang, divided into three segments at the 2nd and 3rd floor level, respectively. It forms a light, translucent element that on the one hand exposes the building’s interior and on the other reflects the surrounding. The design concept brings out the best both in the neighbouring buildings and original local urban layout.
