This edifice represented a great challenge at its time (the mid-1990s), as it was introduced in a competition for optimal design. Getting the first prize, the Office envisaged the idea of the project on adopting the best and most conforming functional potentialities, chiefly with regard to location and spatial considerations as well as responding to the desire of a leading company (ABB) – as one of the largest conglomerate electric power companies worldwide. This was not devoid of highly appreciating location premises.
