The highly complex three dimensional structure of the timber inner dome was formed using parametric design techniques. For the first floor the almost vertical roof hangs on the floor of the third floor and is supported by a gutter construction against the floor of the second floor. The top level roof has a crippled stanchion construction on also the third floor and is supported on the roof floor. Roof elements were maximum factory fitted and already covered with roll materials at the factory only sealing of joints took place at the building site.
