The house is built around meetings. A hall called the red box covers 344 square meters with a ceiling height of 8.7 meters and a fixed stage of 13 by 6.5 meters. It seats 404 people in rows. Joined with the second half, the red boxes 1 and 2 reach 516 square meters and 580 seats in rows. Five smaller blue boxes of 40 to 93 square meters handle breakout rooms, workshops and board meetings, and they can be combined into a 334 square meter space for 377 people in rows.
