The design concept is based on the belief that architecture is not developed in isolation from open space design and ecological concepts, but is rather an integral part of them. The building structures are embedded in the open space as a loosely arranged ensemble and rather intertwine and merge with it to form a single unit. The building ensemble is surrounded by a vertical garden - like a frame - of loosely arranged, vertical poles, which act as a trellis for a wide variety of climbing plants to create a fast-growing vertical biotope for bees, insects and birds. These will become a home for bees, insects and birds. In this way, visitors can learn about a wide range of ecological relationships along the educational trail.

The Institute of Apiculture is thus inserted into a green vertical garden, which more or less conceals the buildings - like a green veil - depending on the direction of view. The irregular positioning of the buildings results in a variety of different views, interspaces, and perceptions of the buildings, which sometimes seem to emerge clearly and at other times hide behind the vegetation.

Another element of the public space and didactic circular route is a large flower garden at the rear of the site. This is to become home to countless flowers and herbs using raised beds. The beehive could also be set up here, facing south above the flower and herb garden. Further to the east, behind dense vegetation, is the private, non-public area of the gardens and the apiary.

The specified spatial program was distributed across four freely arranged, one to two-story building volumes, which are arranged centrally around an inner courtyard with skylights, which regulate the circulation of the ensemble as a central distributor and are connected to the entrance lobby. Both the parking for visitors and employees and the delivery areas have been moved to the north side so that they are hidden from view from the main entrance. The main entrance with a foyer was located along the west side next to the beautiful cherry tree, which is well worth preserving. This is also where the cab and bus driveways are located, making it easy for school classes, for example, to get in and out next to the central entrance.
