“ The building is designed as a simple geometric figure whose exposed framework becomes the
building ’ s identity as well as its architectural expression .
AMAT & SAINT-VAL ARCHITECTES
Its shape lends itself to conveying a sense of openness to the outside and is inviting to visitors . It opens up to the outside by way of its fully glazed facades , and its interior opens up onto an atrium laid out as a garden . All levels benefit from all-day sunlight , and its large facade maximizes views .
The building ’ s shape creates a rather elusive object , always perceived differently depending on the angle from which it ’ s viewed . Its glass and concrete materials add to its luminosity and underscore the space ’ s visibility , adding a certain grandeur to the building .
Finally , as a nod to technology and for technical performance , the acute angle of the building serves as a cantilever , providing free space for parking on the ground floor . This impressive angle also provides the lightness and weightlessness necessary for integrating the building into the site .
Its compact layout and center entryway allow optimal occupancy of the land parcel and offer various sized office spaces , allowing for all possible configurations ( enclosed offices , open office spaces , meeting spaces , relaxation areas , etc .).
