Lower dispersion

This building’s façade, is made up of light glass windows, and it strongly contrasts with the heaviness of the close buildings. This solution allows moreover, a more efficient administration of energy. This thanks to a double façade composed by two glass walls far 1m from one another, which creates a bearing area for insulation.

The glass windows are supported by a structure made of steel frames set in the inside and practically invisible.

Transparency is stressed internally by spaces with no columns, and the whole building is covered by a particular steel dome.
