The mixed-use complex consists of three independent buildings incorporating commercial and residential units. Due to the project's scale and architectural complexity, the above-ground portion was divided between two architectural firms, resulting in three distinct buildings. While the underground level connects the entire site, each building differs in operation, spatial arrangement, and function. Each architect worked independently, without the ability to influence their colleague's work.
All three sections are based on the concept of an "organic city" and feature specific volumetric and spatial solutions. The ground floor includes commercial, administrative, and retail spaces, while the upper floors contain apartments of various layouts. The project combines diverse functions and creates a modern urban space with emphasis on connection to the surrounding environment.
The first ten-story building at the corner of Nové sady Street naturally complements the existing street frontage. The fully glazed facade is animated by mutually offset continuous balconies with steel railings in a pastel green shade, giving it dynamism and visual interest.
The middle eight-story section represents a gallery-access building with residential units designated for rental. The uniform apartment layout is reflected in the regular facade facing the street. The strict grid is softened on both sides of the building by perforated metal sheeting, which gives the facade visual lightness and provides more privacy to the interiors.
The entire complex is completed by a thirteen-story building that recedes behind the street line in its corner section, thus contributing to the overall dynamics of the development. This concept is also reflected in the arrangement of balconies and windows, which emphasize the building's architectural expression. The white color of the brushed render is enlivened with basalt aggregate, which gives the surface texture and spatial depth

The entire building is designed as a reinforced concrete monolith with a combined structural system. It consists of three interconnected blocks A, B, and C, each with a distinctive architectural character. The complex includes 137 residential units complemented by commercial and administrative spaces, including underground parking.
The building is designed as a low-energy structure utilizing state-of-the-art technologies. Part of the roof areas is equipped with a photovoltaic power plant, while the remaining areas are designed as green roofs supporting biodiversity. Heat pumps serve as the primary source of heating and cooling, with all residential units featuring individual air conditioning and heat recovery ventilation systems.
