The future-oriented and sustainable new building will house a local Leipzig football club. The building is being constructed on a vacant site in Leipzig Lindenau, in the immediate vicinity of the club's existing training centre.

The timber construction, PV systems, use of rainwater and grey water and a construction method that focuses on recycling and reuse are just some of the measures that will be used in the construction of the modern building.

The new office building is planned as a reinforced concrete-timber hybrid construction. Starting from the first floor, all floor plans are U-shaped, creating an open space for an inner courtyard. The basement, parts of the ground floor and the three development and supply cores are planned as a solid construction in reinforced concrete. The remaining areas of the ground floor and the majority of the upper are designed as a timber frame construction with solid timber ribbed ceilings, glulam beams, and columns.
