Both the ground and underground floors are designed to connect various spaces. The constellation of the building, sport center and cultural space is connected underground, in order to facilitate a smoother circulation mainly for the residents of the building.

The building is organized as a sequence of two story types: one is permanent and part of the structure, while the other consists of prefabricated, removable elements. These prefabricated stories can be dismantled to create mezzanine configurations as needed. This system is designed to maximize spatial flexibility both vertically and horizontally.
