The design of a new office building located in the very center of Wrocław. The building is to become a neutral complement to the existing urban fabric, not constituting competition for the environment, especially for the historic complex of St. Maurice’s Church and Monastery of Hospitallers Brothers .

In accordance with the traditional principles of urban shaping, clearly emphasized is the corner of the building, where the glass and opened through all floors Main Hall is located. Another entrance to the building has been placed at the closure of the urban axis at Kujawska street.

From the street side, the building has a conservative, classic facade with a vertical rhythm of windows and pillars. From the side of the yard, a different convention was applied – a fully glazed facade, shows the interiors of the offices and exposes characteristic oblique support structure.

The ground floor of the building was shaded with arcades, referring to tradition of locating trade and services in cloisters surrounding the ground floor of tenement houses.
