The vertical bands of the facade come from the remodeling of the language used for the entire development, thus allowing a unitary reading throughout the development. It has also given the opportunity to deepen the relationship between the external chromatic/perceptive system and the internal performance/functional use. Given the demand for work spaces, the functional program has been very accurate in locating units of offices and open space, and it has created an equally rigid definition of the openings. The main elevation treatment defined by the opaque/transparent façade system has created a very regular theme throughout the building. The simple rhythm was complicated by the use of coloured spandrel panels which tend to destroy the regularity, increasing the overall interest in the façade.
