这座新的多功能建筑位于Europaallee区，毗邻苏黎世中央火车站。由于Europaallee新区共有8座建筑分别从A到H排布，所以该建筑目前暂时被定名为“D楼”。大楼分为上下两个部分，零售区位于下层基座部分，而上层是空间扁平、立面清爽的便捷办公空间，可以由多个单独的公司或分租或供规模较大的客户使用。这种多功能的设计要求要在建筑中创造出两种不同的照明条件和空间环境。大楼主入口平行于Europaallee大街，通往底层的零售区和交通空间，两部位于底层中央的自动扶梯串联起整个空间。大楼在基座之上共有八层环绕庭院的办公空间分立成两栋塔楼，其封闭的腔形立面采用了Carrara大理石贴面和抛光混凝土柱，另外底层入口通道被具有强烈对比的奢华哑光黄铜饰面覆盖。

This new mixed-use building is an integral component of ‘Europaallee’, a currently emerging district adjacent to Zürich’s central train station. The building is currently known as ‘Site D’ due to the numbers of buildings in the new Europaallee district–eight in total, each assigned a letter, ‘A-H’. A plinth of retail programming anchors the building to its site, while its upper volumes consist of flexible office spaces that, due to their shallow depth and efficient façade grid, can be occupied by several individual companies or a larger singular tenant. These dual programs posed the challenge of creating two lighting and spatial requirements within this prominently sited building. The main entry is positioned along the parallel ‘Europaallee’, and opens onto the ground floor’s main retail and circulation spaces. From the ground floor, a central staircase complemented by two ramping escalators traverses and connects these areas. Eight floors of office space are set atop the plinth, organized around an multi-level exterior courtyard, essentially creating two office ‘towers’. A closed cavity façade system, bound by polished concrete containing Carrara marble, encases the building; luxuriously contrasting matte-brass finishings, such as those adorning the ground floor entryways.

该场地一面朝向Europaallee，另一面朝向苏黎世中央火车站的三号站台，因而大楼的一部分呈悬臂式伸出火车站台之外。采用这种做法旨在将大楼融入到其场地定义的特殊城市环境中，并将“城市立面”直接建造在火车轨道之上，同时充分利用场地的最大可建设面积。由于大楼底层下方的巨型地下交通大厅（需要无立柱空间，以便容纳大型运输车辆）与建筑场地结合紧密，因此该项目的建筑结构相当复杂。交通大厅一半在大楼下方，一半在相邻的建筑物下方，其尺寸约为57x25m，其中设有23x25m的无立柱空间，方便运输车辆掉头或转弯。一条通道将交通大厅与Europaallee正在建设的另外两座新建筑，以及火车总站的新购物中心相连接。
