The building’s foundation employs deep large-diameter piles supporting a 500 mm thick, reinforced concrete foundation slab. The building’s load-bearing construction uses monolithic reinforced concrete. This is created via a lateral wall system in the above-ground floors and by a system of columns in combination with load-bearing exterior walls and interior staircase walls in the underground floors. A ventilated facade from SILBONIT fiber cement boards and an exterior insulation system with a top coat of silicone plaster have been used for the cladding.
