Underneath the court of this block perimeter, there are seven parking levels. A green island was demanded for the inhabitants and the office workers of the five surrounding buildings. This resulted in a garden, in which the sunny areas engage in a dialogue with the shady sections and its according plants. The axes and aligning of the facades were interwoven to a basic grid, which structures the whole yard and pergola.
