The buildings in the Pfauengarten will change the urban cityshcape as perceived from the Stadtpark, with the Schlossberg in the background. A building clearly belonging to the 21st century will be erected behind the medieval city walls, which due to its high quality will also perfectly fit in with the historical urban structure.
The new building in to the south of the site will comprise the existing ramp leading to the underground car park, as well as a so-called city balcony - a hotel with a restaurant and a ballroom - which will be high enough for offering a view on the city crown with the castle, the cathedral and the mausoleum. A helistop shaped as a flat tray in response to design aspects could optionally be installed on the roof of this complex. A hotel and a residential building will be erected to the north – a long stretched thin construction oriented towards the Stadtpark, with seminar and conference rooms in diagonally aligned glazed building sections, used as an architrave floor adjacent to the Landesarchiv (the provincial archives). The 3-storey residential building with gardens on the level of the square and, with terraces on the 1st and loggias on the 2nd floor is integrated in the hotel complex, but separated from it by an own access and an individual building services storey. The hotel complex with the reception desk and lobby on the level of the square, with a restaurant, a city balcony and a terrace on the 1st floor, as well a the slanted three-storey hotel room unit is placed above the housing part, but separated from the latter by a building services storey that will be flat in form to the east and high-rise in to the west. Each room storey will be inserted a large lobby stretching from east to west, which can be used as a terrace in summer and as a winter garden in winter. It has been designed as a "large living room" with a library and an information and recreation area.
