The building is a large slope with a green roof that rises from the ground level to 4.5m height. Making a bit more than half a circle rotation architecture provides public space around and small semi-patio.

The building structure is designed as a modular metal frame. Its northern arc is completely glazed and the building itself is turned so the transparent part faces pedestrian radial paths and passing cars.

Energy efficiency and ecology parameters are provided not only by green roof but also by using heating pumps for heating and cooling and heat recovery ventilation.

The organization of internal space is simple and clear - comfortable zones for clients are located along the southern arc while kids zone is situated closer to lighting. Reception is planned in front of the entrance dividing space into public (with meeting room) and staff zones.

3 tables for work with clients in the open space are merged to single fluid surface, which forms the seat back at the same time.
