The building is situated on the intersection of a main and a secondary road. As the main entrance of the building faces the secondary road, the architect took advantage of its qualities: shadows and trees became his inspiration. The street expanded into the main hall of the office building creating an open plan office space with a forest- like ambience, leaves and shadows. GRG perforated panels in the form of leaves and crystallized white glass turn the walls and the ceiling into an ‘embroidered’ shelter enhancing in this manner the feeling of walking under trees.
