In the immediate vicinity of its headquarters, LVM has erected this structure as its seventh expansion building. Delicate glass cubes were placed in an alternating comb system by connecting them via a main glass thoroughfare. In addition to its striking, colorfully designed exterior, the three- to eight-story building is distinguished by its innovative energy-use concept, which, along with windows that can be opened, features geothermal energy probes and a photovoltaic unit.
