Only issues where with the optimal construction of the 1st floor slab-grand cantilever.The facade metalwork consists of aluminum profiles.

The straight roof of the ground floor is a walkable grovel covered area while the roof on the first floor has an angle of 19 degrees. All floors are wooden, inside and outside.
