It is a multifunctional building inspired by the distinctive landscape of the French province of Toulouse, characterised by expanses of cornfields and straw bales in sunny fields.
To translate the uniqueness of this region into architectural language, the architects opted for a golden exterior design which evokes the details of the landscape and, at the same time, integrates with it.
To get the desired result, we installed the structure’s panels in all four possible positions, enhancing the various shades of colour and different light refractions, creating an iconic 3D effect on the facade.
During the day, the construction stands out against the backdrop of the sky, becoming one element with the landscape. At night, illuminated from the inside, the building turns into a luminous entity.
