The architectural concept is based on a network structure spanning the entire building site. This creates a grid of fields to which different functions and uses are assigned. The slab-like architectural roof panels are formed, corresponding with the open space landscape and embedded in the urban environment.

The natural light fields (= glass skylights in the roof and in the passage) also follow this grid and integrate harmoniously into the landscape. A pedestrian guidance system is developed, which is supplemented by artificial light fields in the passage area and guides people through the passage.

The main entrances to the passage are designed with generously sunken open space areas and ensure pleasant entry and exit in the lower areas of the public transport hub. This extensive lowering of the landscape allows for deep daylight penetration even inside the passage area. The natural light fields in the central area complement the daylight effect and naturally guide visitors through the basement of the public transport hub.

The designated staircase is complemented by rest areas that can be accessed from the restaurant’s outdoor areas.

The roof structure of the platforms and the arcade exits is a steel and glass construction consisting of elevated steel girder grids with glass roof sections.

Roof soffits: Zoning of the circulation areas (platforms, entrances/exits to the arcade, and bus stop) using suspended ceiling panels. Access areas are accentuated by light distribution rails (artificial and natural light fields), and lounge/waiting areas are covered with perforated aluminum composite panels as acoustic panels.

Facades are designed as post-and-beam constructions with glass or panel infills (thermally insulated). The elevators are made of PR glass structures clad on all sides with satin-finished horizontal linear printing.
