A new administrative building was designed for a public enterprise which incorporated an energy-saving concept in the form of a glass-ceilinged semi-barrel, which derived its individuality from its urban architectural context.

An internal access corridor runs within the shell of the building, along which an office landscape is being developed, which can also be adapted to meet changing qualitative needs (large room, group room, individual room, etc.).
