The lower part of the building relates to the urban structure, offering flexible spaces for offices and various public functions. With its top part, fitting 11 floors of apartments, the 70m high tower acts as a new landmark for the city. An open floor marks the gap between the two parts of the tower, offering a space for recreation to the inhabitants.
