Situated between heterogeneous commercial developments and small-scale housing, the building is the central office of a haulage firm. Raised above the ground, the black cubic
volume of the two upper floors, with storey-height pivoting louvres, forms a bold contrast to the bright orange of the company vehicles below.
This square structure, with a side length of 50 m, is glazed on all faces and additionally daylighted via four planted courtyards of different sizes. A gently rising staircase leads up through one of the courtyards to the first floor and represents the formal line of access. The office storeys are linked with the ground level parking area by two staircase cores that also serve as escape routes.
