OFIS designed three new buildings as cylinders related with loops of space in various heights. In the middle of each cylinder is a public entrance area and offices arranged around the center. the logic of connected and disconnected departments follow mathematical models of intersections and unions. Two departments that share meeting
spaces are connected in various floors with loops and bridges.

The external facades will feature a high performance glazing and an adaptable external shading device to reduce solar gain in summer. The concrete slab imbedded pipe system provides cooling without draft problems and in winter comfortable radiant heating. in summer the cooling of the offices spaces will be achieved for major amount of time
just using the slab system.
