The huge glass façade (reminiscent of a shop-window) offers a spectacular view towards the Elbe and the Old Town with the cathedral. The offices are arranged in a semi-circular, clinker-clad wing, which does not open up towards the adjacent landscape park. The radio and television studios are independent structures, freely positioned within the hall and connected via footbridges.
