該建築在城鄉類型之間不斷變化的邊界上整合了固有的複雜性；它的形式既來自阿爾卑斯山前的輪廓景觀，又來自一個小村莊的狹窄，扭曲的通道和廣場。該中心位於奧地利克拉根福（Klagenfurt）的東部，該市一直延伸到其外圍的郊區和農業地區。與許多現代邊緣城市環境一樣，該場地被錯落的建築物，開放的停車區，大型商業開發區和住宅郊區所包圍。
傾斜的，急劇摺疊的屋頂營造出概念性的景觀，而低矮的建築組成部分則從地面浮出，成為重新構造的大地。就像構造板塊的地震移動一樣，這座五層樓高的銀行總部也突顯出地面較低的形式。中心的獨立體積圍繞一箇中央庭院相交，使光線可以穿透一樓的分支銀行。每層的橋樑將電梯核心和沿著庭院邊緣的大廳與較大的建築群連接起來，並繼續向外穿刺立面並創建可俯瞰城市街道的陽臺。
人行通道是現有外圍街道的延伸：相交的心形軸線切入了建築群。在地庫曼群島的南端，一個大樹冠將公共論壇空間直接連接到繁忙的Volkermarkt Strasse十字路口，邀請公眾進入活動中心和銀行分支機構。在場地的北部，開闊的花園，商業和辦公空間，以及幼兒園過渡到附近的低密度郊區住宅區。程序（類型學）和形式（地形）都重新定義了Hypo銀行的作用，成為一個主要的文化和民間機構。
The building integrates inherent complexities at the shifting border between rural and urban typologies; its form emanates from both the pre-Alpine contoured landscape and the narrow, twisting passages and plazas of a small village. The Center is located just east of Klagenfurt, Austria, where the city extends into its outlying suburban and agricultural regions. As with many contemporary edge-city conditions, the site is surrounded by dislocated buildings, open parking areas, large-scale commercial developments, and residential suburbs.
The sloping, sharply folded roof creates a conceptual landscape, while the low-rise building component emerges from the ground as reconfigured earth. Like the seismic shifting of tectonic plates, the five-story bank headquarters juts out of the earthbound lower form. The center’s separate volumes intersect around a central courtyard, which allows light to permeate the branch bank on the ground floor. Bridges at each floor link the elevator core and lobbies along the edge of the courtyard with the larger building mass, and continue out to puncture the façade and create balconies overlooking the city streets.
Pedestrian pathways are an extension of the existing peripheral streets: the intersecting cardo and decumanus axes carve into the building conglomeration. At the southern end of the decumanus, a large canopy connects the public forum space directly to the busy Volkermarkt Strasse intersection, inviting the public into the events center and bank branch. At the northern section of the site, open gardens, commercial and office space, and the kindergarten transition into the neighboring low-density suburban residential zone. Both program (typology) and form (topography) re-define the role of Hypo bank, to become a major cultural and civic institution.
