The rectangular box is violated only by the entry stair, which connects the first two of the three office floors, and two cantilevered concrete balconies. Production spaces are contained on the ground floor, a heavy base with few punched openings in the poured-in-place concrete. "Creativity zones" are housed in the two upper floors, transparent behind large expanses of glass and a concrete brise-soleil on the short south facade.
