The building was formerly a textile shopping mall, and the renovation created offices, small retail units, a theater, roof gardens and exhibition areas. The lighting creates the feeling of an office lounge with cultural events rather than a common office.

Hidden 3000K LED strips guide the audience to the seating area of the theater.
