"The design reacts associatively on the located identities on site: the brick facades changing their appearance due to daylight, the steel hulls and modules of transport containers changing their colours with the seasons.

The light is grasped into containers, creating self-confident powerful objects, which are able to coexist with the steel. The formal connection to a transport container becomes clear, as well as the idea of a maritime environment. It has a seamless integration and expression of transportation, an elegant programming and presents functional light as art."
