The project required meticulous planning due to the floor-to-ceiling windows and multi-storey elements, some covering up to three storeys. The building's façade combines wooden panels with groove and comb techniques, pressure-impregnated and oiled silver fir boards, and anodized aluminium sheets. Inside, the elements are supplemented with a facing shell.
