Aesthetic and functional all-glass façade

The generous glass façade is particularly impressive from an architectural perspective, providing excellent thermal insulation and energy efficiency in addition to a modern appearance and, at the same time, creating an interior atmosphere flooded with light. The upper floors are characterised by a sophisticated façade design, where special glass panes act as load-bearing units and absorb the structural volume of the building.
