Office building Airbus B22, Customer Service, Toulouse
Four bare shapes are set into a play of screens of glass and metal, emblematic of the B22 building. These screens provide acoustic protection and sunshading, while embodying the search for the High Quality Environmental Standard (HQE) that marks this project. Structured around an atrium filled with trees, these units are characterized by simple, pure lines. Placed slightly out of line with one another, they are smoothly connected for efficient movement.
