The completed building is made of monolithic concrete volumes. The exterior walls are decorated with a subtle hand-hammered pattern, thereby adding a textured effect. The [Music School of Bressanone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jzef-wider-state-music-school) was founded in 1961 and is one of the South Tyrol region's most important cultural institutions. The Trevino-based architectural group honored the institution's historical value with its scaled-back yet subtly decorated design. Boasting straight edges in a modernist style, the building's [concrete walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studios-workac-and-ignacio-urquiza-architects) are slightly tinted in a light pink color. The project comprises a compact volume arranged across three stories. The top floor is set back from the external facades to mitigate the school's impact on the city skyline to create a dissolving illusion.
