The concept of the building fits into the standard of contemporary institutions of a similar type and contributes to the image of the Institute — adequate to its achievements and scientific ambitions, fittingly representing the organisation in partnership relations with external scientific and business entities.

From the image of the building, however, it was important to create an attractive working environment, attracting talented researchers, supporting the high quality of conducted research, conducive to concentration and creative exchange of information. In addition to well-equipped work areas, communication and complementary spaces, used for informal meetings or rest, play an important role here.

For the aspects described above, greenery is also of great importance, used in various forms, among which three play a special role: the contemplative garden, constituting an extension of the ground floor, incorporated as a meeting and rest place sheltered from external stimuli with a soothing atmosphere; facade micro-gardens on the front elevation, as an element of nature improving the microclimate and balancing the working environment filled with technological equipment and an internal patio, bringing greenery and natural light into the space inside the building.

For the leading laboratory function of the building, a flexible structural and installation layout was proposed, allowing the laboratories to communicate with each other and to arrange a variety of rooms. The universal spatial modules are also susceptible to possible changes in room divisions and will be able to be adapted to the evolving needs of the institute in the future.
