Besides fine tuning to urban construction and spatial organisation, the architects at Auer Weber worked at integrating contemporary art into the new bank building right from the early planning stages of the project. Landscape motifs and texts on the central theme of "The interior world of the exterior world" by Berlin artist Brigitte Waldach were in keeping with the design of the building and the special nature of the four office floors. They enabled the glass partition walls to be used to stage the art, thus blending art and architecture. 

The sections on the different floors present one motif each. There is a distinction between the closed conference rooms, with a motif of text bubbles, and the open-space rooms with a tree motif. 
The text bubbles stand as a symbol for the thought and spoken word, and are assembled in a new and different way on each glass wall. 

For the management offices on the fourth floor, the artist selected the motif of a meadow covering the glass walls up to the middle and indirectly creating a discretion zone. The interaction between discretion and transparency is a thread that runs through the whole design of the four floors of offices.

The motifs were applied to the glass surfaces with ceramic paints as digital prints, and were then baked on. Initially the artist, the architects and the Strähle project managers worked closely together to coordinate the composition of the motifs and especially the length of the texts so that they fitted the different formats of the glass surfaces. The rooms with their architectural and artistic design constantly provide staff with new perspectives.
