[6] The street level and the three first floors of the tower building A have been reserved for businesses and services.

The top floor has a sauna rentable for corporate events and an engineering space.

Beneath the building is a 1200 square metre basement with social and storage spaces.

[9][3] Traction bars 40 millimetres in diameter have been inserted into the rock and tensed with a strength of 80 tonnes.
