EQUATION

AN OFFICE BUILDING FILLED WITH TRANSPARENCY AND LIGHT
The project site is located in the heart of the Fréjorgues Est II BIA in La Mougère , one of the region ’ s most dynamic corridors , and is being developed along the axis formed by the airport , the new Montpellier Sud de France TGV station , the A9 motorway , the Odysseum shopping center , the new Port Marianne district and the heart of Montpellier .
This office building conveys transparency and light . From the outside , it highlights its workers and offers visibility into the site ’ s activities . From the inside , it provides users with a comfortable environment and brings the outdoors in . This transparency creates both visual and physical porosity .
The building is designed as a simple geometric figure whose exposed framework becomes the building ’ s identity as well as its architectural expression .
