Description
The rather unusual architecture of the building’s rear side is explained by the planning permit provision that some of the old-growth trees on the property has to be preserved. The challenge for the interior design was to set up the editorial offices and at the same time to create a place where the finance and business community could congregate. That is why the architecture is defined by openness and flexibility.
