The reinforced concrete skeleton structure with five upper floors and two basement floors rests on a solid base clad in a wild clinker brick bond, which picks up on the materiality and colours of the surrounding industrial buildings and simultaneously reinterprets them.
The rising storeys are set back and rotated by around 15 degrees, allowing a view of the listed brewery buildings at the rear of the site. Around the exposed upper storeys, the plinth area facing Saarbruecker Strasse is designed as a spacious, partially planted terrace area. The façades of the first to fifth upper storeys consist of sawtooth-like scaled, floor-to-ceiling windows in a dark aluminium frame.
Depending on the perspective, the historic façades on the opposite side of the street are reflected in the window fronts.
Due to the development of the rising plot, the ground floor cuts into the terrain by half a storey height and forms an open space towards the courtyard, partly overhung by the rising storeys, into which the exposed vaulted back of the underground beer cellar is integrated like a historical ruin.
The roof of the building is covered in greenery, and the technical installations located there are recessed into the roof surface so that they are not visible from the upper floors of the neighbouring buildings.
