The reconstruction of the main entrance area has resulted in a new reception building and underground car park breathing lightness and transparency while supporting the company’s corporate image. The reception building, a glass pavilion with a ´floating´ roof, welcomes visitors. Ultimate transparency appears at night as the glass panes become invisible and the white roof is enhanced by the up-lights integrated in architectural elements. Arriving by car implies an extraordinary parking experience. The symbiosis of light and architecture structures the space, allowing a minimum of distracting elements and creating a feeling of safety and lightness.
