The building is mixed-use . Facing the Brandenburg Gate are offices, the headquarters of Deutsche Genossenschaftsbank . On the other side, facing Behrenstraße, are 39 residential apartments. Between the two is a large atrium, designed to be used as a conference or performance space. This is covered with a sophisticated glass-grid roof, curved in a complex form typical of Gehry's designs.
