A two-part building complex was planned as the new development, consisting of an eight-storey hotel in the eastern section and a seven-storey office building in the western section with a shared two-storey underground car park. In the area of the hotel, at the boundary to the office building, the complex is interrupted by a two-storey, 12-metre-wide "Spree window", which serves as a visual axis.

The cubature of the buildings blends harmoniously into the listed, historic urban fabric and picks up the eaves height of the surrounding buildings to scale.

The façade of the hotel is divided into alternating window fields, each with two windows separated by clinker bricks with matt pastel and iridescent colour patterns.

The façade of the office section in the opposite direction is vertically structured by continuous bands of clinker brick in a red-brown colour pattern. Horizontal clinker brick strips in every second storey suggest that the office floors are two storeys high. The regular arrangement of the almost square window fields gives the façade a calm, spacious character and echoes the design of industrial lofts.
