The object can be divided into 4 unordinary floors, The first main ground floor is mainly commuting space acting as a connetion hub to several specialized rooms and open spaces for large exhibition above the heads of visitors, in the middle of the form is located the original ramp of SND which in its previous function acted as main technical room, this ramp was preserved and build on, inside it is located the space for the academy/amateur theater with about 250 seating places going up the ramp you can find a restaurant with a full panoramic view of the new site and at the city thru the glass panels. The restaurant supports the building outside the art programme and offers something to always visit, continuing on the ramp you enter the new structure hanged above the ramp reserved for a gallery.
