This first circular-layout highrise building in Slovakia has a built-up area of only 160 sq. m. (1722 sq. ft.). It was constructed from a winning design of a dormitory for students of the military academy. It has a double reinforced concrete core at the centre with a diameter of 10 metres (32'-10"), with walls 300 mm (12") thick. The core contains the services, washrooms and showers and a common room. Towards the facade, there is seventeen double dorm rooms with a balcony on each floor. The load bearing system consists of the core and 19 columns on the facade. The vertical communication housing four elevators and a staircase has been pushed to the outside of the 25-storey segmented building.
