Position and size of this building enabled the orthogonal articulation of the space that surroundings also tend to, forming the access plateau shaped as a square expected to come in public usage and keep the whole green fund with a possibility to additionally refine it. When it comes to architectural shapes, the tendency was to create a gradation of spaces and shapesdepending on the viewpoint the building is seen from.

The building is created by adding two simple geometrical forms, so by watching it from distant viewpoints, the primary form is the high-storeyed one (Ground floor + 15), and by approaching the square viewpoint, the lower cube is more vusually dominant (Ground floor + 1). All this makes the entire composition in anthropometric sense more comfortable, considering its considerable size. gradation is formed in slowly bringing the users into the space: the street, the square, closed part of the square, the entrance.

The materials used in facade structure are modern, so the facade has an aluminium element structure with glass that has a high rate of protection against sun radiation. The constructive concept of the building is skeletal, with mushroomlike ceiling leaning on columns without capitals, circled with seismic reinforced concrete parts and cores.
