Two square buildings, both circling an inner courtyard, form an ensemble. They both have simple white plaster façades and horizontal continuous windows. The north and the east wing of the main building have a single-bay layout. Their filigree glazed post and rail façades towards the green courtyard characterise the open and transparent atmosphere. Single-flight stairs along the courtyard façade underline this concept.
