Parking is located on the roof of the building (160 parking spaces). Entrance and exit to the parking space is made on two one-way ramps built around the facades. The roof (accessible roof area) of the ramp is the covering above the retail, technical and other rooms of the center).
Three entrance groups are planned in the building: from the two opposite sides and in the center. The entry in the central part serves as a passage through the building at the level of the entrance floor.
Building structure: monolithic reinforced concrete
The main shape-forming details of the facades are elongated inclined planes of ramps (entry ramps to the roof) and the rounded inclined butts of the building. The window apertures are horizontal, stretched, of varying length (depending on the functional requirements for the rooms), with tinted glass.
The outer walls are lined with metallic panels. The construction of horizontal shutters (metallic lattice) are a decoration of the facade, an enclosure for the open parking space on the roof and a construction for placing advertising space around the entire perimeter of the building.
