The project is planned to be a tower based on a curve of constant width. It and the neighbouring building will form a gate-like boundary to the square and an impressive end structure towards the south east. The tower appears simple, but has a large-scale, dynamically shaped horizontal cross section with smooth, rounded surfaces. The streamlined form of the building, and the way it curves through space due to its horizontal structure, was a design choice made in response to the curves of the adjacent motorway junction.
The interior configuration of the building is, in essence, determined by the need for compact thoroughfares and the highest flexibility in organisation of offi ce space. This requires a compact internal core for access and building services, with surrounding open spaces.
The most important design criteria stem from the requirement for a sustainable building that takes green factors into account. The foremost factors are the efficient use of energy, water and other resources, safeguarding the health of the building users, as well as reducing waste and unwanted emissions.
