The structure of the model consists of two main components: a solidly built core, which forms the basic structure of the building and an organically shaped, horizontally aligned lamellar shell.
The lamellar surface of the building resembles the curvy shaped appearance of the dress. The slanted orientation of the slats allows to see through the facade when looking at it from a horizontal angle, making the core of the building visible.
The core has a structural function. It consists of a diamond-shaped steel construction, which is visible through the glass front.
When standing directly in front of the building, the bottom and therefore the wide side of the lamella is visible. This reveals the organic shape of the facade.
