The layout of the three interlocking tracts of this development forms a sheltered courtyard and affords visual contact between the wings as well as views to the surrounding land­scape. The almost weightless quality of the facades with their broad, clear lines lends the complex an atmosphere of calm. The office tract, raised on piers above the ground, is constructed in the form of a Vierendeel truss and consists of a solid, brick-clad face, and a lightweight steel structure on the glazed side overlooking the courtyard. The internal circulation routes, which also serve as places of communication between members of the staff, are legible from the outside through the transparent facades.
