In its sculptural form and stratification of strings its precious natural stone facade represents the office building for Capgemini and Spie in contrast to its surroundings.
In addition to a day care center, the room program includes two tenants, whose office space is clearly separated and accessed through separate entrances.
The triangular two-storey incisions in the building form break the strong facade and accentuate the entrances. The entrance areas are emphasized by the design of the exterior space, which pulls the visitors from the street across the green courtyard into the building.
