DESCRIPTION
Beyond its height, its distinctive character lies in the materiality of its facades. Supported by a wooden structure, it consists of four stacked prisms, whose slightly sloping walls evoke sails of fabric lifted by the wind. Clad in copper-colored metal sunshades, they create a constantly changing pattern of golden lines. The choice of smoked glass accentuates the vibration of these reflections, offering a changing perception of the building depending on the angle of approach. This architecture, like a minimalist art installation, subtly transforms its environment with limited means, while producing a powerful visual and emotional impact.
