description

  1. The tower-like structure of a conical shape with an atrium and a podium of the first level, built into the topography of the area, contrasts with the surrounding buildings;
  2. The building is sculptural;
  3. The façade is enveloped in convex, light-colored aluminum profiles that provide protection from the sun’s rays and impart a moiré effect.
