The main focus is on the 36m broad and 9m wide cantilevering awning over the main entrance, which was clad with individual precious metal elements on the underside. The various metal polishes are alternated between matt and glossy and installed at various angles. The varying surface and the angled arrangement mirror vehicles and pedestrians passing by which results in a special visual effect. 4 revolving carousel doors as well as 4 double glass doors are integrated in the glass façade, consisting of 22 glass panels 2 x 8m in size. The design for the main entrance was continued for the Lexington Avenue entrance. Here, the entrance is also part of the glass façade, with various door systems and a distinctive cladding under the awning.
