The PowerCube is conceived as a precise urban building block, complementing the ensemble with a clear cubic form and balanced proportions. The perimeter development frames a landscaped courtyard that not only brings light and air into the lower levels but also enhances the architectural quality of the existing facades as a designed open space. Toward the city, an arcaded setback at ground level creates a striking entrance gesture, redefining the location. The façade evolves the principle of the Closed-Cavity system: Slender vertical aluminum elements structure the surfaces, add depth, and establish an elegant, contemporary expression. In combination with extensive roof greening and integrated photovoltaics, sustainability becomes not only functional but a visible part of the architectural identity. Inside, the layout emphasizes openness and connectivity: Flexible office clusters, communicative in-between zones, and connecting staircases shape a modern working environment. The integration of a childcare facility with rooftop outdoor space and adaptable rental areas further enriches the program. The result is an architecture of clarity, urban presence, and sustainable elegance.
