All structures will have a base of lightweight concrete, which will house public areas such as the hotel lobby, restaurants, medical offices, a sports studio and a brewery. The upper floors are made of a hybrid construction of wood and concrete. Here, offices, hotel areas and apartments are predominantly created. The basement, made of reinforced concrete, contains the underground parking garage, technical areas and a swimming pool reserved for school sports.

While the lightweight concrete base visually connects all the structures, the upper-story facades are based on a common basic module that can be supplemented with additional elements depending on use. In the case of the hotel facade, these are wooden slats that serve as privacy screens and, in some areas, as climbing aids. The office facades have additional elements in the form of plant troughs with a climbing aid made of steel cables. Depending on the structure, these will be planted differently so that they bloom at different times of the year.

The urban arrangement creates a variety of open spaces with different atmospheres and moments of tension.The ground floor level is a publicly accessible open space with small lounges, passages and large, flexibly playable squares. The varied selection of plantings, furniture and fixtures creates individual spaces that allow for different moods and atmospheres. The large, multifunctional square can be used for parties and events, while the hop garden invites visitors to enjoy an after-work beer. The fog field lends another area a mystical atmosphere.A play area with a fountain serves as a public meeting place. Various benches under the light shade of flowering trees and shrubs invite visitors to linger and work in the open air.
