The expressive form, which is a response to the challenges related to the location, direction and angle of sunlight, conceals the functionality of a commercial office building.

The complex geometry of the southern and western facades ensure comfortable working conditions, while allowing for energy savings, which in the case of traditional solutions would be used to cool overheated rooms. The characteristic creases of the walls are in fact screens that protect the interior from direct penetration of the sun, while providing users with access to diffused daylight.

Due to the variable angles of the facade creases, the appearance of the building changes together with the angle from which it is observed.

Arranging office space combines the advantages of working in “open space”, providing in the same time a sense of intimacy. Employees received their own individual and intimate work places, feeling part of the team.
