The building is an exciting configuration of a tower and an elevated slab. The slab volume is elevated 11 metres over the water and opens up a spectacular view. The minimum footprint of the tower creates space for a garden. An inconspicuous elevator shaft connects the new building to the older one, where medical personnel, cooks and other help are available.
