Description
The ground floor consists of a large entrance hall which is structurally suspended to the walls of the first floor. The walls and ceilings of the upper floors function together to span the entrance area with minimal effort. The masonry façade is entirely separated from the supporting structure and placed on a special gliding system to avoid dilatation joints.
