Pitched roofs are generally used where rainfall is heavy. 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 highly complex three dimensional structure of the timber inner dome was formed using parametric design techniques. 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.
