II . RENTED OFFICES
STRUCTURE AND FAÇADES
The rented offices feature two terraces divided between the office spaces ( 2nd floor , 4th floor ).
The envelope comprises aluminium sunshades which are directed according to exposure . There is a harmonized rhythm across all façades , with a 90 cm pitch adapted to the framework of the offices .
PROJECT AND FUNCTIONALITY
