Located at the corner of two streets with its long facade facing South, the building is sheathed with multiple layers of protection along this plane.
Seen as a series of enclosures (glass within, brick next, stone outside this and a terracotta screen on the periphery) the building is an exercise in the articulation of the junctions between these different materials.
Designed to house a single tenant and recognising the daily routine of a trek up to the refectory on the terrace an external stair lines the south facade connecting all the floors to the roof and serving as a landscaped series of breakout spaces for the offices.
