Although a simple building, the headquarters has many dramatic features, primarily the entrance stair, a transparent box seemingly hung from the concrete wall, and the brise-soleil, which resembles a comb due to their cantilevered structure. Inside an open plan dominates, with simple, modular furniture a nice complement to the rectilinearity of the building and gridded mullions of the east elevation.
