The overall shape of the building is determined by the effort to appropriately represent the empty corner between Plzeňská and Vrchlického by building a new building that fits into the locality,
respecting the shape of the plot and the height level of the surrounding buildings. This visually exposed and highly frequented location is destined to become a landmark in this part of the city and a worthy location for Agel's headquarters.
The characteristic feature of the building is the slightly curved glass façades with rounded corners. The winding Plzeňská Street and the trace of the now silted-up Motolský Brook inspired this shaping.
The ground plan of the building is triangular. The building consists of three basements and eight floors, with the seventh and eighth floors set back.
In the underground floors there are garages, rooms with technological facilities of the building. The underground floors are connected by a two-way ramp, the entrance to the garage is situated from Vrchlického Street.
On the ground floor of the building, in addition to the entrance hall with reception, there are restaurant premises with a kitchen.
All floors are intended for office space, the 2nd floor is for rent, the remaining floors are used by Agel. The roof above the 7th floor is partly used as a sloping terrace. The roof above the 8th floor is equipped with HVAC units.
A double staircase and three lifts form vertical communication in the whole building.

The external façade of the building is entirely made of lightweight cladding using the standard Heroal aluminium raster façade system. Saint Gobain's transparent triple glazed insulating glass type Cool - Lite, PXN is neutral, anti-solar, with very good thermal-physical and visual parameters.
