The new UBS office block built under strict ecological principles is surrounded by designed open spaces and flower meadows bordered with shrubs. You will find here wild flowers and climbing roses. A large water pool with two isles planted with species of reeds, reflect the office complex. The mentioned isles are built up as filters, responsible for the water treatment of the basin. The rainwater from the roofs is collected and used in a secondary water circulation system for irrigation and internal systems. The large parking area was build without connection to the sewerage water system; rainwater drains away through porous pavements and into the planted areas beside the parking lots.
