The strict rectangular structure with edge lengths of L x W x H = 18 m x 18 m x 17 m houses the headquarters of a Styrian mechanical engineering company. The striking perforated facade – which continues in the roof to illuminate the building-high atrium – determines the structural system of irregularly perforated reinforced concrete walls and a complex girder grid in the roof slab.
