The main façade, a curtain wall of structural siliconed glazing, is, like the rear façade, distinguished by an oblique slash which indicates and emphasises the presence of the entranceway, which is itself protected by a glazed porch. The subtle division of the façade in two parts allows the floor area it encloses to be divided in the same way, simply and clearly. The recessing of the two top floors is covered by a stainless steel pergola which creates a virtual reconstruction of the building's volume and establishes a proportional and compositional relationship with the surrounding buildings.

The double height entrance hall connects to the vertical cores, which are fitted with units for each kind of installation and service, all with a high standard of automation.
